Donald as opening day second baseman?

season over

I think it's premature to call it "major" surgery. Right now, it's a hip scope. Whether it becomes major surgery depends on what they find and what they do while they're in there.

Nope they will probably resign Tad Uguchi.

So, I guess Donald starts the season at second base, puts up an OPS of 875, is shifted to third when Utley gets back, and the Phillies only win 104 games en route to their second straight title. :-D

Well that settles the question of Chase playing in the WBC.

who's the early favorite to go number one in the 2010 draft?

by **TheDude24** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 13:46:54

I was sweating this until I remembered that we have Jason Donald. Utley = Wally Pipp.

Don't you mean "sent down when Utley gets back?"

weren't we talking about him playing with a lorn hip labrum earlier in the year, anyway?

Hopefully they wash his mouth out with soap while they're at it, lol

Didn't Niittymaki have a torn hip labrum? He wasn't out no 4-6 months.

by **TheDude24** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 13:52:15

This can only be good news for dogs. (Since Utley is the Anti-Vick.)

Edited.

It depends on what they find when they go in there. Sometimes a torn labrum isn't the only thing that needs to be repaired.

As long as this isn't casued by some kind of Bo Jackson hip disease, it's no big deal. It just shows you how awesome he is. He was able to hit .286 .375 .456 .831 from July to the end of the season without a hip.
