Steve9347 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Word has it through the Score the Sox are more than lightly worried about this forearm injury. Anyone have any news? Last I heard he was playing tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 There was a lot of talk yesterday about the injury on other boards. Someone heard from a Sox source that it wasn't good, and the speculation was he was out for the year. Buster Olney also heard something similar.

LittleHurt05 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 From the Sun-Times: Tests good so far, but awaiting more results this afternoon.  http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/wh...x090508.article  Tests on Sox' Quentin 'good so far' September 5, 2008  BY JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com After further testing Thursday afternoon, early results on the MVP right forearm and wrist of White Sox left fielder Carlos Quentin were ‘‘good so far,’’ a team source said.  That doesn’t mean, however, that the Sox were ready to breathe a deep sigh of relief just yet as they await further opinion, expected by Friday afternoon.  Quentin, who leads the American League with 36 home runs and has been the Sox’ most consistent offensive player all season, was a late scratch before Monday’s game in Cleveland after the injury flared up during batting practice. He was plunked on the forearm area a few weeks ago and hasn’t been able to shake the pain associated with it since.  If the Sox get the thumbs up Friday morning, Quentin could be back in the lineup for the start of the Angels series.

watchtower41 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 funny, I thought the Zambrano and Harden discomforts of sorts were the only injuries to be concerned about in this town?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Didnt someone mention 4 weeks as a possibility? Â We stick Griffey in left, Paulie gets hot and we hold on for a Carlos return just when the playoffs are starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I just hope he's fine for the rest of his career. Â As odd as it sounds, I agree. It significant hurts our chances, but if you think about it, we still have JD (great year), Thome (solid), PK who has been good in the past month, Swisher who has shown the ability to get hot for a month, AJ and Lexi. CQ makes us a ton better, but it doesnt completely rule us out. Â We really should win tonight, it would be so huge if somehow Liriano lost along with a win for us.

EvilJester99 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I am going to guess he has a fracture in the forearm or wrist.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yea, I think we have to take no chances here. We have a chance to win the WS, but it would still be an underdog situation. Â we also have a chance to contend more consistently for a decade with a player this good (if we retool around him in the coming yrs). I want to push nothing w/ him. Â Â Â The thing that really hurts is that Cowley was the one who was positive about all this, and he was just on the Score talking about how he isnt hearing anything....

I want to push nothing w/ him.  You never know when you'll contend for the playoffs/WS and it's hard to hold a guy back when you know he can help. At the same time, I hear what you're saying about possibly not taking a chance with him b/c of what he could potentially mean/do for this club for the next 5-10 years.  Its a tough decision if it were to come down to it, thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Don't speculate. Just believe the Sox are just being cautious before making a formal statement. I think Joe C probbaly has a good in on stuff inside the clubhouse. Maybe you want us to see what Mariotti has to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
