Injury Report
Posted by seed @ 12:35 PM
The Cubs have had a variety of injuries this spring. So far, infielder Mark DeRosa was hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat, pitcher Jose Ascanio had a bruised face after getting punched in a robbery attempt, and outfielder Felix Pie missed a couple of days early because of a twisted testicle. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez remains sidelined with a sore right shoulder.
Second from last, come again? Now that is busting a nut.
Thanks, I'll be here all week.

And he's still a better choice than Juan Gonzales

I missed something. Did Juan sign with somebody?

Yes. The Cards signed him to possibly replace Jim Edmunds.
*woo-hoo*

You don't say? Looks like Edmunds went to the Padres. I didn't think his injuries were that bad. He's one of my favorite studs.

The way that Edmunds plays is too hard on his body. As we age, we get more prone to the tweaks and twinges. I doubt that Edmunds has a full season in him, and if he does he'll be nowhere near his career offensive production.
This is why I totally understand that the Crds were unwilling to promise Edmunds he'd play every day, and the parting was amicable on both sides.
But Juan Gonzales??

Two words for you: John Lieber.

And now I see that Edmunds hurt himself. He tweaked a hammie leaving the batters box.
*sigh*
This will be a looooooooooong season
