Yeah, I think that's right. I vaguely remember that with Rose's first knee injury.

 

I thought the swelling had to go down before he had surgery, not for the MRI. Or maybe its both.

No it's the amputation that you can do right away, I'm pretty sure.

Setting up for a conference. Laughed VERY loud. Everyone stared.

guys on ESPN1000 saying, Waddle is telling them that he is hearing, "worst case scenario". ACL and other ligaments. As I pointed out before, that's not exactly worse than an ACL tear, because from that direction you had to tear the LCL BEFORE you could tear the ACL.

 

could be a meniscal tear as well, as others on this forum have pointed out.

 

My point: people on NSBB > radio jokers.

what's the history on aggressive recovery times for torn knee ligaments on baseball players?

 

i'd imagine it's not as bad as football or basketball but still probably more than 6 months?

 

EDIT - FWIW...this is just for ACL but I'd imagine they would both heal in similar time frames.

It's def quicker as in he absolutely should be 100% by ST next year if not a little sooner unlike NFL/NBA where about a year from now guys still might not be 100% ready. Didn't Victor Martinez tear some stuff in his knee? He may be a guy to check in to his recovery time.

So when Javy comes back from his head issue due to the hit by pitch last week, will he become our primary second baseman? Would Zobrist have more playing time in the outfield with Soler?

why would that be your assumption over soler just being our primary LF?
