There is a real possibility that it could take the better part of the season for Pedroia to become the player he was before the injury and perhaps he never will. Most likely it will be reflected in his defense where he might lose a step and/or a bit of quickness. I really hope that isn’t the case, but the possibility is real.

Let start off the season with excuses already. Just remember another thing there are 3 other major injuries to worry about also, Youk, Ellsbury, Gonzo, cross your fingers

Look, I know this is scaring everyone but Pedroia will be fine. If he needs a day or two off here and there Lowrie will hold down the fort. As far as Gonzalez is concerned, He had his labrum cleaned out. Theres zero chance that it’s a lingering problem. If anything he might get off to a slow start, and I don’t even see that happening. Ellsbury will be fine too. And Youk. Seriously Babe Ruth, you’re an idiot. Youk is fine. He’s been fine for months. You really do need to get a life. The Boston Red Sox are the besty team in baseball. Get over it.

Babe Ruth, you realize Brian Cashman even said that the Red Sox are better than the yankees. Cashman doesn’t even have a full starting rotation. I know its hard for you yankee lovers to understand that there’s actually a better team out there, but it’s true. The New York Yankees will become the New York Mets in a couple years. A rediculously high payroll, aging players, injuries across the roster, and a loser mentality within the ballclub. The yankees are on their way out. It’s only a matter of time.

What Jim said is worthy of concern.If it takes a half a season for these injured guys to get back to where they should be, we could be to far behind to catch up.Troy Glaus is still out there. He could back up 1st,3rd,and be a righty DH. He wouldn’t cost much. He is a patient hitter who will draw walks and is a good power threat. Mahay: Still gets lefties out in a pinch. Something we don’t have. Ah…Theo…how about it?
