reggie sanders out 4 to 6 weeks

[reggiemiller rules]

Dont have a link but they just said on the news down hear hareline fracture of the fibula out 4 to 6. Looks like they made need to make a move for another outfielder.

[Coach C]

Not sure if anyone also know that Molina landed on the DL for hairline fracture on his left hand as well.

[reggiemiller rules]

Yeah but molinas is retroactive to the 9th, so he is only out till the 22nd, and they think he should be ready by then so he will only be out another 4 or 5 days probably.

[SouthSideRyan]

So how long will Mabry's hitting streak last?

[indifferent]

Molina will be eligible to come off the DL for the weekend series vs. the Cubs. We've been going with Mahoney and Diaz since before the All Star break.

 

Sanders really hurts, we needed an OF before his injury. He was doing well for us this year.

Sanders has hairline fracture

Reggie Sanders slaps hands with Cardinals teammate Albert Pujols in the dugout Sunday at Busch Stadium.

 

Cardinals manager Tony La Russa stared at the typewritten sheet that trainer Barry Weinberg handed him well after Sunday's game at Busch Stadium had ended and said, "That non-displaced stuff is killing us."

 

First, it was the non-displaced fracture that catcher Yadier Molina suffered when hit by a pitch in Arizona. He hasn't played for over two weeks. But worse Sunday came the news that left fielder Reggie Sanders had suffered a non-displaced hairline fracture of the fibula in his right leg, the result of a collision with center fielder Jim Edmonds on Friday night.

 

Dr. George Paletta, head of the Cardinals' medical staff, estimated Sanders would be lost four to six weeks, in effect taking him almost to Sept. 1. Sanders had been among the most consistent and productive of Cardinals this season, batting .281 with 18 homers, 44 runs batted in and 14 stolen bases as he approached the career marks of 300 steals and 300 home runs, something only four players have achieved.

 

The Cardinals will promote lefthanded-hitting John Rodriguez, a 27-year-old former New York Yankees and Cleveland farmhand from Memphis. Rodriguez had 17 homers for Memphis, including one Sunday, and 47 runs batted in with just 120 at-bats while batting .342. Rodriguez had been acquired a little more than a month ago in a minor league deal with Buffalo (with catcher Javier Cordona going to the Indians' minor league affiliate), where Rodriguez had been hitting only .247 with five homers and 23 RBIs in 178 at-bats.

 

La Russa said that the lefthanded-hitting Rodriguez, 6 feet and 185 pounds, can play all three outfield positions. A Yankees farmhand until this year, Rodriguez had 101 minor league home runs and hit .270 from 1997 to 2004.

 

La Russa said there was "a chance" he would play Rodriguez tonight here against the Milwaukee Brewers. Rodriguez had been slugging at a .795 clip at Memphis.

Guarantee you this freaking Rodriguez guy hits .400 until Sanders gets back.

Guarantee you this freaking Rodriguez guy hits .400 until Sanders gets back.

 

Either that, or he sits on the bench and the deadly duo of Mabry and Taguchi puts up an OPS of 1.000.

[dalgreen]

I hate that Sanders got hurt. He's a good guy. And, yes, if Edmonds was playing a few steps deeper in CF this might not have happened.

 

Let the trash talking begin. It's the Cubs and Cardinals in five days.

[gus_dog]

Guarantee you this freaking Rodriguez guy hits .400 until Sanders gets back.

 

Not only that, I am certain that he will murder Cub pitching. :x

[indifferent]

I like the fact that Tony's throwing him in the two spot tonight. Although he's not really a prospect, better to see what he can contribute and make a move if he's not cutting it. Glad he's not going to languish on the bench.

[EricG]

at least I saw this thread and benched him on my fantasy team

.333 with a single and a run scored so far. Pujols goes yard while he's on first. Great way to get your first career hit.

2-3 with a home run tonight :roll:

 

The Cards could sign Gary Scott and start him the rest of the year, and he'd have an OBP of .400 and hit 20 HRs. It's unbelieveable.

[Brian34Cook]

So he's batting .363 (4/11) with 2 Runs, 1 HR, and 1 RBI.. Not bad for 3 starts (He's hit #2 2 times, and #7 the other time). :lol: :lol: :lol:
