June 1, 200520 yr My God how injury prone is this guy. First at bat back from the DL and he hurts himself running to first. WOW How much are the Indians paying him? I think he is done, just hang it up.
June 1, 200520 yr Lol its funny how Frank and him are 2 former MVP's both start season on DL, both come back relatively same time and both hurt themselves on their 1st day back... At least Franks was nothing serious and he be in the lineup against cleveland prob.
June 3, 200520 yr How about this little tidbit : Juan Gonzalez has done things in a big way throughout his career. His latest injury follows that pattern. Instead of sustaining a ``normal'' hamstring pull in his first at-bat of the season Tuesday night, Gonzalez yanked his right medial hamstring totally off the bone at the knee joint. Indians head trainer Lonnie Soloff called it a ``significant injury,'' adding that Gonzalez ``felt it pop, and it came right off the bone.'' To be technically correct, the tendon attached to the hamstring was torn off the (tibia) bone. ``Juan might be out up to three months,'' Soloff said. ``This is an uncommon injury in baseball players. Right now, it's quite swollen and sore. We'll re-examine him in two weeks after the pain and swelling subside. A determination on when he can return to play will be made then.'' Does Juan ever train? does he ever do anything to help him through a season? The Indians have to be kicking themselves for trusting Gonzalez, 600K or not.
June 3, 200520 yr Author Another part of their genius off season. Juan Gonzalez who hasn't played a full year of baseball in god knows how long. Aaron Boone coming off of ACL surgery Kevin Millwood for $7 million, who is 1-4 (not a bad era though) and is on the DL with a strained right groin Alex Cora who is hitting .230 in a crowded infield. and no relief pitching signed with a bad and injury prone bullpen. Yeah, great off season there.

Sounds like the effects of over doing it while on steroids. :finger f*** him.
June 3, 200520 yr How much money has Gonzalez snaked out of the AL central in the past 10 years? This guy has to be the worst free agent signee every year for the past 5 years.
June 3, 200520 yr Per Rotoworld According to the Indians, Juan Gonzalez's hamstring tore completely off the bone as he ran to first base during his 2005 debut.

June 3, 200520 yr While I highly doubt they were banking their whole offseason on this guy panning out they have had terrible luck on almost every pickup they've had. Of course thats good for us.

Look at the ALC that have not attempted to sign himm Sox Twins and they have been the teams winning and contending all these years
June 4, 200520 yr "Gonzalez could miss three months" http://www.cleveland.com/tribe/plaindealer...3120.xml&coll=2 Minneapolis- Juan Gonzalez could miss the next three months after tearing a hamstring muscle off the bone below his right knee Tuesday. Wow. This guy couldn't stay healthy if he lived in a hospital.
June 4, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 07:53 PM) Alex Cora who is hitting .230 in a crowded infield. I can't believe people here actually wanted to pay $2 million bucks to do what Willie Harris and Pablo Ozuna do for a combined $600K. I think I was part of the David Eckstien contingent, however...

I think I was part of the David Eckstien contingent, however... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure but I think most people wanted Eckstein over Cora. I would hope so at least. Cora has a good glove but he has never been a good hitter.

I think I was part of the David Eckstien contingent, however... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember when it seemed everyone was clamoring for Cora to be a starting 2B. I'll say the same thing I said then. He's basically an older Willie Harris. He wasn't an upgrade. Not only that being that he's the brother of one of Ozzie's best friends you can imagine how much worse the favortism would have been then say Timo who just seems to be Ozzies boyfriend.
