8/12 GDT: Strider, The Bruján, and The Drake vs. The La Guardia Flight Path

Can the team dictate which of two medically acceptable options a player takes? No.

It can give advice and express a preference but it ultimately isn't up to the team and it's not going to void the contract.

This is interesting. Could a player under long term contract simply decline any surgical procedure and "rehab" for the next 5 years?
 
Gil Meche famously retired and voluntarily gave up the last (I believe) $11 million of his contract because he was absolutely sick of trying to rehab his injuries, and the CBA said that an injured player had to be working toward returning to the field in good faith. And Meche was willing to sacrifice $11 million in order to avoid that misery.

I suspect that if a player flat-out refused to undergo any medical treatment for an injury and did not seem to be seriously rehabbing, then a team could file a grievance and seek some kind of financial remedy. It's difficult to imagine something that flagrant actually happening. I could see a scenario where a player opts for a treatment that the team considers unsafe, experimental or wholly inadequate, and there's a fight over that. But Strider's situation doesn't come within a hundred miles of that scenario
 
Really hoping Snit doesn’t bench Drake tonight because he sees the opposing pitcher as a LHP.

I’d be shocked if Drake was in the lineup because Snit is gonna Snit.

Lineup is already posted and Baldwin is out like we all knew. Ozuna getting these critical AB's is WAY more important than any other player on the team.. don't you question the genius of this Braves FO.
 
ROY is over.. Collins is playing everyday.. is already 1-3 today and his team is good, which shouldn't matter but it will.. meanwhile the supreme idiots of the Braves will continue to platoon Drake because it is better to let Ozuna have his cake and ice cream at the end of the year for a job well done.

1-4 now. 1-8 last 2 games. Surely regression is here. I posted both players expected vs actual in BA, slg, and woba last night, and drake is clearly the superior hitter. It'll show down the stretch

1-8 with 2 RBI's and the 1 was a double.. He is adding to his counting stats while Drake sits after an 0-4 with 1 RBI.
