Brian Roberts misses workout with back spasms

[SammyBirdland]

I'm remembering that Roberts dove head-first into 1B during yesterday's game. I hope it's not related to that.

Man, this makes Hulk angry.

Should we be more concerned about Lee seeing a wrist specialist or Brobs back spasms?

For me, I'm more concerned about seeing Izturis at 2B than Scott at 1B.

As I said in the other thread. Wrist and hand injuries are tricky and sometimes bother the player for the rest of their career. I can see Lee being in pain for the whole year. The question is it minor pain he can play through or will it cause him to miss alot of time and might affect the rest of his career. Going back to the specialist shows that he could still be having problems that might need rest or more surgery,

I say Brob. If Lee is out we can move Scott back to 1st and put Reimold in LF. If Brob is out we put in Izturis:(

Here we go again :cussing: It makes you appreciate the Cal Ripkens and Markakis' that much more.

It'll never be 100%. Better get used to it.

Izturis should not be a backup. He should be a sub, entering late in games when his defense and speed becomes more of a priority.

Roberts has got to suck it up and learn to slide feet first... those head first slides are just so dangerous for someone with potential back issues. Potential being an understatement...

Am I the only one who finds it funny and ironic that this post comes from a guy who has Jeff Reboulet as his avatar????
