Pujols elbow ready to fall off

[Derwood]

ESPN Bottom Line is saying that Pujols has inflammation, bone spurs and tendon damage in his elbow, but will not be having any surgical procedure until the time is right for a "complete reconstruction of the elbow". things go from bad to badder down in Cardinal Nation

[Roast]

That sounds like it would hurt.

Correction: torn ligament, bone spurs, inflammation and arthritis

Sounds like normal wear and tear for a 28-year-old.

[Burtonbell]

Either way, I just dropped him a few notches in the fantasy drafts.

Sounds painful.

Haha.

Old news. We knew about this last season.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

BUZZKILL

Not trying to sound ghoulish, but IF Albert's arm is in such a bad shape, it won't matter if he is in the lineup (he'll be given the Bonds treatment, and he'll never see a decent pitch), why waste it in that lineup? You know every team is going to pitch around him, IMO, just get the TJS (if he really needs it) and get ready for 2009. It doesn't help the Cards, for him to play for part of the season, and then have to shut it down.

Methinks this is probably a little closer.

But he doesn't need immediate surgery? Wow.

But he doesn't need immediate surgery? Wow.

My reaction exactly.

 

Regardless, I'm not drafting him in the first two rounds now, maybe not even first three.

I heard a surgeon on XM today talking about it - it has little or no impact on his batting. Only affects his throwing - i would be running anytime he gets the ball in his hand this year.

Hmmm. That's amazing that it won't affect hitting. I still have the feeling it will be an issue all year so I dropped him off my fantasy board all together.

[David]

Isn't this similar to Luis Gonzalez's situation a few years ago?

Ok. It's been an issue since 2003 and he has had some pretty ok fantasy years since then.

Yeah, just OK. ;)

Isn't it worse this year than in the past couple of years though?

according to woody paige on friday's PTI, it's been an issue for him since 1993. woody's not great with dates. or anything else for that matter.
