Best of wishes to he and his family.

A 19 year old left fielder that had a .401 OBP in A ball last season who drew comparisons to Grady Seizmore. Let’s hope the surgery is successful and he can return to normal health, nevermind baseball.

I lobby for job.

referring to a prospect who has brain issues

as grady “seiz-more” could be viewed as a joke in poor taste…

On his property, Mr. Frazier has created a number of places to unwind — or as he said, "just chill."

I see the “seiz” there but I wasn’t making a joke at all. I looked up his profile on a Red Sox prospect site & it said MLB comparison: Grady Seizmore.I only hope no one finds his condition funny.

It's

SIzemore not Seizmore. That’s why it could be considered a joke.

Why would "seiz" be considered off-color, anyway?

Once again, I seems to be missing something.

I didn't think of it until inventor frank said something

and it’s not particularly funny, but it could have been a joke in really bad taste.

Oh, duh.

Now I understand.

It would be a stretch to find anything untoward in what you wrote, don't worry about it.

Scary stuff.

Makes all of the injuries we had last season, and this season, look like nothing in comparison. Hopefully, he’s able to recover back to his “normal” baseball self.

Yeah, that's pretty scary-sounding.

ESPN has more on the story. Apparently, it’s a rare but life-threatening condition in which the capillaries have thinner than usual walls and are prone to bleeding. He’s already had an episode of bleeding on the brain. I hope it goes well for him.
