Endy Chavez has a torn ACL

by Matthew on Jun 20, 2009 4:38 PM PDT in Bad News Comment 34 comments

I'll update with a link when we get it, but for now. That's the scuttlebutt.

Update from Drayer, torn meniscus as well, estimated recovery time is 9-12 months.

Well, that is not good news.

Fuck.

That was one of the scariest collisions I’ve witnessed. The cartwheel may have been impressive but it was terrifying.

And TV doesn't really give you a good perspective on how hard two players can collide.

So when you see a collision on TV that makes you cringe, you know that it had to be a bad one.

Dammit hell ass.

Well that sucks.

Could this possibly mean that Saunders will take his place?

Depends what they want to do with the playing time I imagine.

I wonder if there are any good defensive outfielders floating around on the waiver wire?

Baker's reporting that Zduriencik thinks Saunders "needs more time" in AAA.

Sounds like they just want Saunders to be able to play everyday. Get ready for more Wlad, and Cedeno WOOOO!

I feel this is partially Yuni's fault.

I feel that a nuclear reaction is partially the deuterium's fault.

Fans are typically idiots.

Well, probably your last chance here, Wlad.

I would appreciate if you didn’t go all barkey with it.

Soooo, they are just going to give Endy's roster spot to Josh Wilson.

Because clearly the team needs to carry 3 backup middle infielders.

God, I’d even rather have Prentice Redman than Josh Wilson.

I have a feeling we'll be down to two backup MIFers soon.

by acblue on Jun 20, 2009 5:03 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

When Lopez comes back they’ll get rid of one of the infielders. Activating Wilson for Chavez is just the easiest thing for them to do right now, it gives them some time to decide on what they want to do in LF.

Fair enough.

I see the logic.

by faceplant_04 on Jun 20, 2009 5:12 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'm more just frustrated that I'm going to have to endure Josh Wilson actually playing.

by faceplant_04 on Jun 20, 2009 5:12 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

It is not the best solution, but Woodward and Cedeno can both play OF.

Likely just a temporary solution, however.

I want Redman, too

Not because he’s an improvement, but because he can do this

by cougfan on Jun 20, 2009 5:05 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Screw that, I want Womack!

That's one of the most mind boggling things I've ever seen. I'm hypnotized.

Lame

At least it looked way cooler than when Doyle and Guillen did it.

Fucking sorcerer.

I hate Chavez with every bone in my body for that one catch against Scott Rolen and the Cards in the NLCS, but I’d never wish knee injuries on anyone because I’ve been through them and it sucks.

I don't care how well he does for the M's...FUCK ENDY CHAVEZ
