ARod Out for 2013?

His doctor said the surgery went as planned and that the cartilige damage in the hip was minimal. Minimal cartilage damage means "they wouldn't have to do a microfracture (procedure) or anything where they are trying to regenerate areas where the cartilage has worn away," said Dr. Derek Ochiai, an orthopedic surgeon and hip arthroscopy specialist in Arlington, Va. "That will mean his rehab has the highest chance of successfully getting back to the level with his hip that he was before his hip started hurting."

While a full recovery is expected, it was a major surgery and like any other surgery that goes well, there is no written guarantee that the healing process and rehab will go off without a hitch. So what Cashman is saying is factual; there is the possibility that Rodriguez could be out the entire year. Nobody can predict when Rodriguez will be back; whether it's 6 months or the All-Star Game or 2014.

It was mentioned on MLB Network.

Mods feel free to move if necessary, just wanted to let everyone know.

Cashman said in a radio interview, and I am paraphrasing "Alex may miss the entire season due to the hip surgery, we will have to wait and see."

:thumbsup1:

I would not be happy about any player being injured that is on the Yankees. I don't hate on anyone either.

    • I always thought that if you weren't around 10:1 you weren't trying hard enough.
    • Adley was a nearly finished product when picked, if not for tradition and service time stuff he could have been in the majors shortly after he left college. Gunnar needed 1000+ minor league plate appearances as a high school pick. Ask this same question about the 1990-2017 Orioles with their development system. They certainly could have found a way to screw up Gunnar, would have been harder with Adley.
    • I don’t think it was weird at all.  EDC said it but I thought it unfolded as expected.  You knew the QBs would go. You knew tons of OT and WR would go.   This was always going to be an offense dominated first round. The Oline and WR depth is in every round. I suspect that they go Oline twice or Oline/WR tonight.  Obviously you never know how the board falls but I think that’s what is likely.   This is mainly going to be an offense draft. EDC said a few weeks ago that they will draft a RB.  My guess is that the RB goes sometime in day 3. They will come out of this draft with at least 2 more Olineman, one WR and one RB.  I suspect they take a safety at some point as well. The question will be do they take 9 players.  The Ravens didn’t feel this was a draft with as many draftable players as years past, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they make some kind of a trade. 
    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

    • Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.  
    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
