Daily News | Andrew Painter’s injury diagnosis means the Phillies should forget about him in 2023
The best thing for everybody right now is to forget about the prospect of Andrew Painter in the big leagues. That goes for Phillies fans and players alike. It goes for Rob Thomson and Dave Dombrowski. It even goes for Painter himself. Any innings he sees this season are a bonus. That’s the operating principle.at the age of 19 is that you have a lot of time to heal. Right now, the big question is how much of it Painter will need.
For Painter and the Phillies, the future is a far more important consideration than the present. The goal can no longer be to have him in the rotation this season. Rather, the goal is to have him right whenever he gets there. Both parties are fortunate to have Scott Boras involved in the process. Painter’s agent has taken a lot of heat over the years, but there’s nobody in the world you’d rather have as a partner in attempting to chart the optimal long-term course for a player. He is a fierce advocate for his players, one who has invested plenty of resources in the study of performance and longevity.“I have extensive studies on young pitchers with extreme velocity at young ages,” Boras said.
It’s a reality the Phillies were going to need to confront even if Painter broke camp with the team. To a certain degree, anything they got from him this season was best viewed as a value-add. Whatever happens four weeks from now, they should continue to operate as if they will be without it.
