"think Dean Palmer" (re a cat III strain)

Ow…..

That is easily the most traumatic injury of my lifetime. Obviously Mateo’s was worse for the Rangers long-term. But Palmer’s scarred me.

Go Rice Owls!

I hope that Young doesn't rush back

only to be ineffective or injured again.

What are the chances

of MY DHing until his hamstring is 100%

by Coolbean04 on Sep 3, 2009 11:35 AM CDT reply actions  

from the article

Carroll says that the biggest problem from Young will be hitting and running out of the batters box. So if he’s healthy enough to DH, he’s probably healthy enough to field.

Go Rice Owls!

Except

the best team configuration right now is probably Omar at 3B and MY at DH. Whatever it takes to get his glove off the field.

Wasn't the question

Hitting and pushing off could severly limit his bat.

The original question

were what were the chances of him DHing, and I thought it worth putting in that this would most likely be the best from a team standpoint, unless there is an extremely productive DH option other than Mikey that I don’t know about.

I have to think they'll slide Davis to third from time to time, to spell Omar

and to get Yank F. in the lineup.

Other than that, gagree with the combination.

Hank is the elephant in the room. When will he disappear?

Ah true

Yep.

I like that!

"We have a better chance to win with other guys in the lineup," said Blalock, who is hitting .190 the past 30 games. "That’s something I’ve got to deal with."

I love the comments from a couple of people

Predicting when he’ll be back based totally on… his limping? If I had known medical evaluations were that easy, I’d have become a doctor.

"What ... 92 miles per hour?" Feldman scoffed. "That's not gas. Feliz throws gas."
