Ramirez Injury Thread

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The Rangers might be persuaded to part with Blalock. His defense at third isn't all that great any more as he's been relegated to 1b/DH for Texas.

 

Another possibility would be to look to the Astros for Tejada. He also isn't as good as he used to be, but the Astros might part with him for cheap.

The good thing about Hendry is if Ramirez has to miss a lot of time, he'll go out and get someone. He'll grossly overpay, but he'll get someone.

So if it's a dislocated shoulder with nothing torn (plzplzplzplz), how long are we talking? Like I said before, I'd be happy if it were only a couple months.

And then have less to offer for other things we need

I forgot about Garrett Atkins, who the Rox have been desperately trying to pawn on someone. He wont fill Ramirez shoes, but hed be better than Freel/Fontenot/Miles

I would think 6-8 weeks if it just popped out and back in without any other significant injuries around it. The biggest issue is that often once one pops out, it is prone to do it again.

I know this is terrible logic, but if Zambrano hadn't gotten hurt, this would have never happened. Awesome luck for the Cubs.... as usual

If we lose Ramirez for months, tell one thing we'll need more than a starting 3rd baseman?

A miracle.

I'm not saying I wouldn't do it. I'm saying it still hurts us because now we have to use resources on something else

[Little Slide Rooter]

Dislocated shoulder it is. Put down the bucket of chicken get your fat bum on the phone Hendry.

[hankp101]

So for the time being we are probably looking at Scales and Freel splitting time at 3rd, right?

Yeah, were going to have to give something up, and Im not talking Jake Fox and Neal Cotts, but its going to have to happen.

Garrett Atkins might be had for relatively little, due to it being his walk year, his poor start and Ian Stewart.

Id prefer 1 of the O's trio. I dont trust Rockies out of Corrs, but hed be a solid last resort. The O's will want pitching, probably Marshall, but I doubt we'll give him up. Ascanio on the other hand might have to go.

judging by last season's game threads you didn't enjoy that one much either.

well that was necessary

[Little Slide Rooter]

There is 1 guy out there who could potantilly fill Rams shoes, and thats Adrian Beltre. They were considering moving him in the offseason. There doing well now, but if they were to fall off, theyd probably move him. He would come cheap by any stretch, and it would only be worth it if Ram is out for the year.

We're going to need offense to replace him though... not defense. Beltre is a great defender but he can't hit

[JGalt73]

From a bit of searching it looks like 2 months is the going amount of missed time - unless it's a more severe dislocation.

Looking at his stats, I guess youre right. He had that monster year with the Dodgers, and who knows, maybe he was on the juice, and since hasnt been all that good. He has some power, but OPSs in the high 7s.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If his is going to linger awhile, how much is left on his contract? Is it insured?

[moorecg]

How did it happen? I missed it...thankfully I guess..
