Adrian Beltre to Have Surgery

Well, that didn't last long. Larry LaRue with the word:

Just when hasn't been decided, but within the next week Beltre will have surgery that will likely keep him out of the Seattle Mariners lineup 6-8 weeks.

According to reports, Beltre is under a severe amount of pain every time he lifts his arm above shoulder height. That he was going to try and play through that for three months and change is a testament to just how strong willed the man is. Unfortunately for him and for the team, he is not going to be able to make it.

Based on the timeline, do not expect to see Adrian back until around the middle to end of August.

Let's just keep piling on eh?

So much for an entertaining trade deadline..

Oh God, does this mean it's Tui time?

I’m ready for the epic .178/.245/.315 over 45 games

According to Stone

Zduriencik says Lopez and Woodward are the first two names that come to mind.. Maybe he gets creative and turns the right stone a la Branyan

That could be interesting

Loafie might be a disaster at third though

by seattlebruin on Jun 27, 2009 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I've never thought of Lopez as a great reactions guy, more of an average range/arm 2B

not sure his skillset is right for 3B, but I’ll defer to the experts for the time being.

Hopefully he puts up a nice SSS UZR of +10/150 or something

Not exactly

You need a good arm to play third, while second errs more on the side of range

Seriously.

At least he only has to suck going one direction though..

According to LaRue

it’s Lopez —> 3rd, Woodward/Cedeno —> 2nd

by I Lick Squirrels on Jun 27, 2009 6:09 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I wouldn't mind calling up Shelton and trying him at third

God it’s going to suck if Cedeno and Woodward are both in the lineup every day.

We're gonna go 8-0 just to spite us

and convince GMZ to not rebuild and to go for the playoffs and trade prospects for more bats and that will hurt our rebuilding down the line because we won’t be rebuilding we’ll be building for the present instead of the future and that will hurt our rebuilding long term.

Definately. At this point you may just have to say F the defense with Endy and Adrian down

and do whatever is possible to get some offense on the field. Branyan to 3rd and Carp at 1st would be arrangement.

Chavez is out for the season, Bedard is questionable, now Beltre's out until August.

They better make some noise this road trip, because if they struggle, they won’t even be able to be sellers this deadline.

I hope so.

They’re both due for some hardcore regression, though.

by katal on Jun 27, 2009 6:17 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm not convinced Washburn is due for that that bad of regression

though tRA doesn’t like him, FIP does. A lot of that of course is due to a really depressed HR/FB rate, but he’s making that back with a hugely increased SwStr rate and strikeout rate. I’d be surprised if his true talent was 23.3% LDs – it doesn’t seem like he’s being hit all that hard.

by seattlebruin on Jun 27, 2009 6:20 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Any idea on how this will effect his possible re-signing with the team?

I can’t see GMZ allowing a player of Beltre’s caliber walk away. This has to lower his price and GMZ knows his value.

by Wilder. on Jun 27, 2009 6:09 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Called it :( :( :( :( :( :(

He did not look like he was able to deal with the pain well enough to play these last few games.

This sucks.

You know, "Yaydrian" works because it rhymes with "Adrian"

“Boodrian” does not rhyme with anyones name. Unless some parent crazily named their kid Foobrian or something.

2009: A New Day, A New Way, But Still No Floor

Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.

by JAH on Jun 27, 2009 6:33 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Re: No floor

My fear is that we’ll end the season one game above .500.

Considering how much money we have coming off the books, it seems safe to assume that we’ll sign at least one Type A free agent. So of course we’re going to have to lose a draft pick in the process.

by katal on Jun 27, 2009 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I didn't think it was possible to end the season 1 game above .500

Since every win necessitates the absence of a loss, and vice-versa, and the number of wins and losses must add up to 162, a team could go 81-81or 82-80, .500 and 2 games over, respectively, but nothing in between. Unless a game was canceled and never made up or something, maybe.
