Guzman shut down

[imb]

@thekapman: Angel Guzman feels pain in his right shoulder. Shut down for a couple of days and then reevaluated. Not good news at all.

 

spring's off to a good start

[Garwilly]

Ok then

[David]

At least we have Mike Wuertz to do the job.

what the hell does that have to do with anything?

[YearofDaCubs]

No surprise there.

Doesn't really upset me. Angel has been in the Cubs org for almost 10 years and he's never been able to be counted on. If he pitches great but don't plan your season around him being your setup man.

[Sammy Sofa]

It's unfortunate, but not surprising. Just get what you can out of him.

I had no idea Calero walked that many batters.

More sim games this year: Guzman or Silva?

[17 Seconds]

our bullpen is going to suck

[Cubswin11]

If this is at all that serious. I have to think Hendry will either sign Calero or trade for one of the Blue Jays bullpen arms (the have like 3-4 late inning guys).

This article makes it sound like no big deal.

Gosh, you mean the world isn't ending because a pitcher has some soreness in his shoulder after cranking it up for real for the first time since last October? I'm not sure you grasp the gravity of the situation, friend.

 

If this ends up being something serious, fine, but for now, I'm not sure what the impetus for all the panic is. How many times each spring do you see players on both sides of the ball with a sore shoulder/knee/hip/wrist/neck/back who just have to sit a few days and let it pass?

Part of it, I'd say, is due to Guzman's storied injury past. If he had been healthy throughout his career, this wouldn't be something to even mention, I'd say.

This site makes me laugh because most of you guys panic at the slightest bad news

Yeah, shame on us for thinking something that has happened 10 times before under similar circumstances will happen again!

Which is certainly fair, I'm simply pointing out the speed at which people rush to panic and the voracity with which the panic commences.

 

You'd think the story was that both of Guzman's arms fell off at the shoulder as he was trying to throw today, crawled in the dirt over to a passing jackrabbit, killed it and then used its blood to write "YOUR CURSE WILL CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER 100 YEARS".
