A ground ball struck the right middle finger of Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Scott Rolen on Sunday, ripping off the fingernail and causing a non-displaced fracture of the bone in his finger tip.
“Early prognosis is it’s not going to be six weeks or something like that, so I don’t even want to throw a schedule out there. I can say this: he won’t be lost for the year.”
WTF - Last year I drafted Carlos Quentin and he got hurt within 24 hours. Now Rolen goes down this year. As someone else said, here we go again, it's baseball time!!!
This one might help you. Rather than suffer thru 4-5 games a week of disappointing hitting for a couple months until his back gave out, you now can go out and search for a rosterable 3b right from the git.
[/QUOTE]nah...hitting in the middle of that lineup in that ballpark was gonna bring some nice numbers to the table.
now i have to roster his azz on my bench for 6 weeks. frigg'n idiot!
[/QUOTE]I saw enough of him last season; he went in the broken down heap for me this season along with Nomar and his counterpart Glaus. I'd be surprised if he hit much more than 15 HRs this season.
In fact, I'm gonna call this one right now:
Scott Rolen, 275, 12 HRs.
Joe Crede and Melvin Mora are equal or better bets going 10 rounds later.
