[...] he’d undergo a second procedure to finish the job. Yet as the season went along, Philippon sounded more confident that A-Rod would not need a second surgery. Today, via ESPN Radio’s Andrew Marchand, we learn that a second surgery will not be [...]

So lets get this straight because its tiresome.

A guy coming off hip surgery isnt having a Gold Glove season on the field?

Thanks for the great analysis.

I think we all can agree hes hasnt been Brooks Robinson. Thanks Jim.

Isn’t this something that should be discussed after the season and after said player has been evaluated by the specialist?

Speculating about this is kind of ridiculous.

Brendog likes to discuss trivial and totally unimportant matters.

Like discussing the playoff rotation on Sept 1.
Which is ridiculous.

Or discussing the fact that A-Rod may or may not get hurt and have more surgery.

You really taking someone seriously when they say lowell is having a better yr than A-Rod?

Really?

Lowell has been so good that the Sox disrupted chemistry by importing another bat. They think so highly of him they tried to move a gold glove caliber 1b to 3b.

A-Rod rehabbed to get back on the field, not to fully heal.

30 days of low impact activity and lots of stretching may be an alternative to a second surgery as long as the labrum is stable and no impingement is present that would compromise the labrum again.

Imaging after the season will tell the story not wishing, hoping and guessing.

Nah, I don’t think he’s going that far. I think he’s just pointing out that the most important factors in the decision are going to be ones that we’re not going to be aware of or know enough to have a meaningful opinion on.

Bo’s a different story. We’re all (or at least most of us) capable of having a meaningful discussion of the ideal postseason rotation. Bo just disagreed on the timing of that discussion. Unless you’re thinking of something else…

You know, I want to say no, but I’m not sure. I guess so, yeah. lol

But, come on, this is a medical thing, this isn’t really the kind of thing we can discuss, is it? This isn’t like discussing future personnel plans for a baseball team. I’m not going to bother thinking too much about this, but there’s definitely an important difference here.
