Hopefully they don't have to DL him.

Hill's done a good job, but wow. Just when you thought we were healthy.

[jersey cubs fan]

Bong too heavy?

[inari]

Christ. Gotta hope it's minor.

[Little Slide Rooter]

for a brief, shining moment

 

teams playing great

sales complete

everyones back from the DL.

 

next thing you know

 

ofense takes 15 innings off

sales NOT complete

new set of injuries.

 

Is someone out there messing with us on purpose?

[Keener98]

Apparently he hurt it in BP, and oblique injurys are very touchy. If this lasts long, we dont have much catcher depth in the minors.

Id take Clevenger or Robinson as a backup catcher, but as a starter, Id really rather not have either or Hill.

[soapy]

jesus, i hate to here oblique. hopefully he can just rest until after the all-star break or something. as much as it would suck to be without him for the STL series, they can't risk him making it worse.

I wonder how tough it would be to get Blanco from the Padres?

They DLd him on 7/5 , no retro. Hammy strain.

Huh...shore nuff.

 

ESPN's list of the Padres roster didn't show a DL next to his name...stupid ESPN.

I don't suppose the Jays would part with Rod Barajas?

[JonJayCutler]

I have a feeling we're going to be hoping for a rainout after the first couple innings of Hart.

 

Edit: Wrong thread lol.

[TruffleShuffle]

too bad illinois doesn't have medicinal marijuana, that'd clear the oblique problem right up.

Hopefully we will by early 2010. The bill is in the process of being passed. Hopefully Geo will be healed by then, though...

Nope. But they'd probably give us Michael Barrett.

Lou just said in the post game that he could use Fox as a backup C.

Um, Lou does know that Fox was moved to a new position because he wasn't a good catcher, right? Right?!

[shrug] Lou doesn't seem to mind that Theriot isn't a very good SS, regardless of what UZR has to say about it.

UZR has Theriot as a slightly above average defensive SS

Maybe he could recapture the magic . . . . ?

At the very least, he should be better at predicting which fist Zambrano uses to throw the first punch.

I wouldn't mind seeing it. Any way we can get Fox's bat in the lineup is good... especially over Hill. Maybe we can use Hill for late-inning defense, but I would at least give Fox a shot and see how bad he is behind the plate.

I don't know. Catcher isn't really a defensive position you should be messing with at all.
