Encounter with Torii Hunter

[Original_Irish]

I had seats behind home plate for the A's vs Twins game today and I asked Torii how many touch downs his son was gonna catch this season.
He raised 10 fingers!

He must be anticipating Amir Carlisle getting injured again.

Has Carlisle ever managed a season without an injury? Seems to have terrible luck.

Not once, no. Kid has elite ability but like you said no luck with staying healthy.

2011- sprained knee set him back at SC
2012- ankle kept him out all season
2013- broken collarbone in the spring
2014- wrecked his knee again and was never the same after the Purdue game

With CJ being such a beast at RB and Amir probably not surviving September there is going to be a lot of competition in August for that slot.
