Alfonso Soriano Is Hurt (2-4 Weeks)

[Soul]

So shouldn't the title get changed to 4-6 weeks due to the tear?

 

It's torn, and they're hoping for labor day? That makes no sense. He's likely out for the year.

Yup. With the rehab process and everything.

[Derwood]

How do this type of injury happen? Not stretching properly? Someone with a better knowledge of anatomy or even a current or former athlete, please feel free to explain?

 

I also don't really get how Nomar's injury happened either.

 

nice signature

 

Thank you.

 

except the Cubs didn't spend $300 million in the off season. are you a member of the baseball writers of america?

The Cubs are not going to release/DFA Marquis. Get over it

No, but Lou could banish him to the bullpen if he thinks another starter could do better.

 

I doubt it though...for the money they are paying him, he'd be an awfully expensive middle reliever. I suspect that if Marquis does bad enough, they'll DL him with a mysterious injury so that he can take a break, and they can "rehab" him in the minors.

Who will they DFA to bring up Pawalek in his place? He's the obvious choice: need another lefty in the rotation, he is not on the 40-man, and there are other pitchers that make more sense.

The problem with that is Marquis has to agree to it, and he isnt known as one to keep his mouth shut when hes unhappy. He vocally let his felings known last year about not being happy about being left off the playoff roster..
