#Indians CF Grady Sizemore (back) out for opening day.

 

#Indians Grady Sizemore strained lower back fielding grounders in the OF two weeks ago.

 

Surprising.

paul hoynes ‏ @hoynsie

Lonnie Soloff, #Indians head athletic trainer, says Grady Sizemore stopped all baseball activities after injury. No timetable on return.

 

If Grady Sizemore opens year on DL, it will be the second time in as many season. #Indians.

 

#Indians Grady Sizemore's back injury slows rehab on his surgically repaired right knee. Combination probably means DL for opening day.

Spring training opening day or April opening day? That's still six weeks away and he is already out?

To say that Sizemore is made of glass is an insult to guys that are actually made of glass, like Peavy and Quentin. Grady is more like the breakaway glass they use in movies.

Wow. I feel awful for the guy. I can't imagine having your career taken away from you like that.

At least he cashed in first.

 

Imagine being the Twins.

Yeah, at least Peavy goes out with a bang. He detached a damn muscle from the bone! Sizemore's got those little injuries that never seem to go away.

Spring is almost here!

 

Zumaya hurts himself again.

Sizemore, check.

Zumaya, check.

 

Who's next? Quentin? Prior?

Q is more of a late season guy.

Indians closer Chris Perez sprains a muscle on his left side, they don't say it but I'm guessing an oblique? and he's out 4-6 weeks.

Early reports indicate he'll need Tommy John.

I think I'd retire given all he has gone through.

Still got $400k from the Twinkies this year.

That's a lot of X-Box games.

At least he has a lot of time to hone his Guitar Hero skills.

Forget that. Spring 2014, he convinces a team he can still throw 90+, they gave him 400k, easy money. Its their problem when his arm falls off a week later. I just love that "experts" called Zumaya a good signing, as if he might stay healthy.

Eh. For $400k it is worth the gamble. That is what it would cost to bring in a rookie anyway.

Manny Acta says if Chris Perez isn't ready to close at start of season, Vinnie Pestano will close. #Indians.

#Royals announce multiyear contract extension with catcher Sal Perez

 

Perez terms: $7 million over five years.

 

Jeff Passan ‏ @JeffPassan

Sal Perez's deal is for five years with three club options. As one agent has said, "Any time a team gets more than one option, it wins."

Indians announce that Grady Sizemore had "a minimally invasive lower back procedure" today. 8-12 weeks recovery time.

Buster Olney ‏ @Buster_ESPN

Scariest moment for Twins Thurs. came when Denard Span ran into a chain-link fence. Hit the railing with his mouth, but not seriously hurt.

Holy cripes did Sizemore become a fragile and brittle guy.

#Indians manager Manny Acta names Justin Masterson the team's Opening Day starter

paul hoynes ‏ @hoynsie

#Indians manager Manny Acta says Justin Masterson and Ubaldo Jimenez will be his No.1 and No.2 starters. Josh Tomlin, Derek Lowe next 2.

Overall I'd pick the Sox rotation over the Indians at this point.
