March 4, 201313 yr Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN Supplemental 1st-round pick Keon Barnum had surgery to remove a right hamate bone today. He's expected to miss six weeks. #WhiteSox
March 4, 201313 yr QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 4, 2013 -> 05:46 PM) See the comments in his AAP. Not a big deal. Losing 6 weeks sucks though. I was hoping he'd start the year at Kannapolis and now he'll likely start in extended spring training. Not the end of the world, but still disappointing.

At this point, he isn't even an after thought to the Sox.

That is a much bigger deal as it is one of the keystones for the wrist motion.

Part of it could be the hamate bone surgery he had last year which saps a lot of power. Carlos Quentin broke his hamate bone last year in the middle of an MVP season

With the hamate it's just removed.
March 5, 201313 yr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamate_bone Also, ptatc stated this right away http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?s=...t&p=1735788 QUOTE (ptatc @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 01:29 PM) This injury sounds like a scaphoid fracture. The scaphoid is a small bone in the wrist at the base of the thumb. The reason they need to immobilize a small fracture is that the bone is peanut shaped and the blood vessel runs through the narrow protion. If it is not taken care of the lower part of the bone can die from a lack of blood. This will cause a decrease in the motion at the wrist which is what you DO NOT want to happen. These fracture are typically not seen on X-rays as they are too small. Usually MR or CT scans are needed. If this is the case, they will pin the bone to insure stability for 1-2 weeks then be in a cast or splint for 4-8 weeks to get a good callous for bone healing. i don't know if in fact this is the injury but by the description from reading here, that is the most logical injury Also, it was not from a HBP. This is his right wrist. He gets hit almost exclusively on the left arm, where his previous forearm injury was. It is very conceivable that he threw his bat and tried to catch it while the bat hit the wrist at the base of the thumb. This was the exact process the Sox went about with Quentin. Further, had it been the hamate and not the scaphoid, Quentin would have likely toughed it out and been back for either the end of the season or the postseason in 2008.
