Crede a late scratch tonight with "back stiffness"

Should we be concerned about this? I know he had the surgery, but anytime Crede and back are in the same sentence, I tend to cringe. Maybe we should give him a couple more days off to be safe. I know this could be construed as postgame talk, but I figured it deserved it's own thread.

Well, this explains it. I just made a post in the winner thread asking what happened cause he took BP with the regulars and was warming up before the game and than all of a sudden I saw Pablo out there and start (Crede was initially announced the starter in the lineup too).

 

I'm guessing it was precautionary though cause he was stroking it during BP.

That's good to hear, and again, if this were anybody but Crede I wouldn't think twice. But I assume the worst with him and his back, even with him having had the surgery and with him being out tonight looking like a precaution. We can't have Joe hurt, he's having a very good year at the plate and even Fields is hurt.

On the pregame show, King of all knowledge Beltin Bill Melton said with the upmost confidence that Credes back is sore because of sitting on a plane for four hours...

 

He may have even tweaked it by sleeping awkwardly, and aggravated it during BP.

 

This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

You hope it's something that when we have these West Coast trips that it's not going to be a long - term issue as well.

 

Because Crede's been one of our top 3 or 4 players so far this season offensively, even if he hasn't lived up to his lofty defensive standards of past seasons.

Thome suffers from back stiffness and Konerko pulled a muscle and Quentins had was banged up. Calm down now please. I wonder how long it takes before we get the "trade him before it's too late posts and/or he is down for the count" etc etc

Well there is a slight difference between Konerko pulling a muscle and Quentin being banged up, over a guy who had surgery on his back and missed most of last year. Crede's back issues are a concern in the long run. Hopefully its just a minor issue and we can move on.

You really aren't this dumb, are you? Joe Crede has a long history of back problems, in fact it could be debated back problems are the only reason Joe isn't an even better player today. I am not saying to trade Joe either. Fields is hurt, plus Joe is a better play right now, and in addition, we have crossed the Rubicon with trading Joe as he is here until the season is over and then he is going to leave, that's the way it is. You make some strange posts, but this is right up there. Don't take what I said out of context or anything.

One missed game with back stiffness and the board sorta freaks out about it, yet some people want this guy signed to a long-term extension?

 

This thread should close the door on that thought; if we are so worried as to the rest of his season and his back that a thread is started when it gets stiff, which isn't even sore, you really need to consider a new option at 3B next season.

The one thing I have never done on this board in 5 years is insult people. I would ask that you please refrain from these negative personal comments. I accept your apology.
