The kid is an idiot, plain and simple. Really looking forward to seeing who it was.

Doesn't look good, but we don't even know the facts yet. Let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe he was attacked.

It seems like a Bull Durham Nuke LaLoosh situation here. Maybe the Red Sox should bring in Crash Davis to instruct "Meat" not to punch people with his throwing hand.

That's so frustrating. Was expecting big things from him. Still might, but man...

Really sad to read that news. Had high hopes for the kid. Maybe he gets healthy and puts it together but following up a PED suspension with this kind of incident is really not a good look in terms of taking advantage of the his opportunities.

More testing required, unclear if he can pitch this season. @timbritton Hazen on Kopech: For what it's worth, Silverman was the only one to write that it was unclear if Kopech could pitch this season, and Hazen's full statement has been released at this point, so I'm inclined to think that's his own conjecture.

Unlikely that Kopech's injury is anywhere near that in terms of seriousness. Yount completely severed the flexor digitorum profundis and the f.d. superficialis of his middle finger, and damaged the ones on his second digit (pointer finger). Bill Morgan did the case at UMass Worcester. Speaking with someone very familiar with the case, they were very concerned that what happened (career-ending wildness) would happen. Broken bones (probably a Boxer's fracture, of the 2nd/3rd metacarpals) are usually just time off, unless there's a nerve or vascular injury. Really poor choice, though. He'll probably be out 8-10 weeks.

And the answer to the question, "will the big 4 prospects become the big 5 prospects for 2017" is answered with a resounding NO!!!
Way to blow millions kid!!!

Chris Cotillo @chriscotillo 3m3 minutes ago Spoke to Red Sox prospect Michael Kopech, who fractured his hand in an altercation with his roommate...
Chris Cotillo @chriscotillo 3m3 minutes ago Kopech: "It was just a small altercation with one of my closest friends. The situation was minor and escalated quickly."
Chris Cotillo @chriscotillo 2m2 minutes ago Kopech: "I regret it but I will bounce back from it."

Sad start to Kopech's career. Hopefully this will serve as an important lesson and he will bounce back late in the season. Unfortunately, this likely sets back his developmental timetable.

I think it's a little early to declare Kopech the next Jon Denny or Andy Yount.

I think his roommate was Tyler Hill. I know they were tweeting about having a cooking show together a week or 2 ago.

Ah, that's too bad ... stupid move. Not, you know, History's Greatest Monster bad or anything, but as Hazen said, you don't want to give yourself extra hurdles to overcome in making the major leagues.
Hope the fracture's not too severe.

Frustrating. Kid needs to stop creating things to bounce back from.
Not the end of the world, but these setbacks don't help.
