3 to 6? I’d hate to see what a severe oblique strain looks like.

April fools? No?

And so it begins.

This is the oblique, in case anyone was wondering.

by taco pal on Apr 1, 2010 9:57 AM EDT reply actions  

So basically, the pitch muscles?

and I quote myself:

Pedro Martinez – The man’s still out there. Standing on top of his building in the Dominican Republic, cape flapping ever so gently in the Caribbean breeze. Wistfully staring at the night sky. Waiting.

by Wet Luzinski on Apr 1, 2010 10:27 AM EDT reply actions  

But he (like Brett Favre)

is only good for 2 or 3 months

How do you know this?

And who cares if his 2 to 3 months comes in April-June anyways?

by FuquaManuel on Apr 1, 2010 10:29 AM EDT up reply actions  

he only played about that much last year & he is getting older, & it was more of a brett favre joke

When he pitched on normal rest last year – he was bad – when he pitched on extended rest – he was good – do you want a guy who probably should only start ever 10 games instead of 5?

Warm milk, a good book, and the sound of passing automobiles.

The problem is — assuming they signed Pedro today, he would not be ready for game action until Blanton returned from the DL.

My thoughts exactly.

Scar tissue is stronger than muscle tissue. Realize the strength, move on.

by JCB79 on Apr 1, 2010 10:37 AM EDT up reply actions  

well, sure. I kid, a little. But somebody ought to be picking up a phone or shining the Pedro light into the sky to jump start some discussions.

by Wet Luzinski on Apr 1, 2010 10:39 AM EDT up reply actions  

Kendrick - use the Force!

Judge him by his Peripheral Stats, Do You?

by Wet Luzinski on Apr 1, 2010 10:44 AM EDT reply actions  

So Kyle Kendrick is going to get to start for a couple of weeks after all….

by JasonB on Apr 1, 2010 10:51 AM EDT reply actions  

Good luck to Kendrick… Blanton stop eating cupcakes…

by Ant on Apr 1, 2010 11:13 AM EDT reply actions  

The most frustrating aspect of all of this is that Blanton never spends time on the DL. Basically his entire value as a pitcher comes from the fact that he’s good for 190 innings of slightly above average pitching every single year.

I’m glad that Kendrick has worked his butt off all offseason, but if I’m Ruben, I’m working the phones to get some insurance. At the “high” end of things, Jarrod Washburn and John Smoltz are still out there, and there are some lesser guys available via trade who are out of options (e.g. the Boof Bonsers and Sergio Mitres of the world). It’s not like we’re in a roster crunch right now — we’re looking at an open bullpen spot to start the year.

by PhillyFriar on Apr 1, 2010 12:02 PM EDT reply actions  

i wonder if seattle will resign Washburn considering Lee’s abdominal strain. Hands down the worse and most complicated strains to deal with.

by j reed on Apr 3, 2010 7:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Nobody’s picked up Kendrick in the TGP Fantasy League yet…

And I’m amused that I’m now dead last in the waiver list. Snagging Lilly, Arroyo, and Rolen killed my position on the list.

by The Dark on Apr 1, 2010 12:04 PM EDT reply actions  

While this sucks, before anyone jumps off a bridge, five weeks max from March 30 = five starts max to start the regular season. The difference between Blanton and Kendrick for five starts, on average, probably isn’t any more than one win. Which is no small matter, but not the end of the world either.

by taco pal on Apr 1, 2010 12:25 PM EDT reply actions  

Something I wonder is that is the 3-6 weeks “time to get back to 100%” or time he won’t be able to throw so tack on a week or two of rehab?

by jemagee on Apr 1, 2010 12:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think they usually include rehab time in those estimates. Either way, they’re only estimates.

by taco pal on Apr 1, 2010 12:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

The concern is that for a pitcher this type of strain can sometimes be like a groin injury to a hockey goalie or a pulled hamstring on a wide receiver. The type of nagging injury that hampers the guy all year and could keep him doing a dance with the DL.

by Cormican on Apr 1, 2010 1:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

April Fools…Joe Blanton has an oblique muscle.

Chase Utley is so good that on one pitch he stole second, third and the shortstop's hat.

Romero on the DL is that new?
