"Gold Glove center fielder Torii Hunter has a torn tendon in his left ankle and will be sidelined for at least 4-6 weeks, ESPN's Harold Reynolds learned Friday night.

Hunter, who was taken off the field on a stretcher, will remain with the Twins through the weekend, then fly back to Minnesota on Monday to have an MRI. The MRI should determine if the damage is more extensive."

What a shame

I liked Tori and I feel bad for the Twins. OTOH, I like the A's which means they might have one less competitor for the WC. This might affect their trade talks , are they selling now? Because we could definitely use some of their bullpen guys...

Good Question

I think this makes the Twins sellers now at this point. It has to. Hunter is PIVOTAL to that squad and even when he does come back, there is no guarantees that he'll be the same player with his tremendous speed, this year anyways.

perhaps the cubs will get lucky

and the twins will fall all over themselves making offers for corey patterson.

Say!

How about Patterson for J. C. Romero?

Very Good!

Put a call in to Terry Ryan and leave Hendry's number. Seriously!

Anybody got Terry Ryan's number?

Or maybe we could slip him the address of this site?

Better do it fast!

I think the BoSox have interest in Romero too and they are playing the Twins so they wouldn't have to go far, so hurry!

Just checked Romero's stats...

... 28 walks in 40 innings. That's not so good.

has been in the last month. Weird.

He had no fracture

But the injury, at least looking at the replays of the play, looked really freaky.

What was even uglier...

... was that injury that Atlanta's Jay Powell suffered throwing a pitch last night. Looks like a career-ender.

So I heard...

It looked uglier than Chad Fox's.

When I first saw it...

... it looked like the injury to Dave Dravecky that not only cost him his career, but his arm, which had to be amputated.

That's the guy!

Thanks heaps for that reply. It's been ages since I last heard his name, and I had been scratching my head in search of it since early May. I just forgot what happened to his arm, so Google couldn't help me when I typed career-ending injuries in the search field.
