Brian Roberts to have hamstring surgery tomorrow

[LookitsPuck]

Per Eduardo Encina:

Brian Roberts' surgery tmrw will be to repair the semitendinosus muscle in his right hamstring.

Roberts' surgery will be performed by Dr. Daniel Cooper in Dallas. Recovery time is expected to be 6 weeks.

B Rob really should consider retirement, he is a injury waiting to happen at this point in his career.

I doubt he retires. Not if he is having the surgery. He probably wants to try to catch on with another team next season

[Norfolk orioles]

Just retire already.....enough is enough.

Love the guy, he was a shining light during a very dark time, but his time with the orioles is officially over.

We love you BRob, just retire already.

At least we can 60 day DL him now.

My guess is they stick with Flaherty for a while, then go with Navarro if that isn't working, before they make a trade.

With Roberts out at least another 6 weeks to recovery + a few weeks to get in some games and rehab...that's at least out 2 months. That puts us in July.

I wonder how long the Flaherty/Casilla show goes on before DD and Buck does something about it. Flaherty's defense is the only thing keeping him in the majors right now.

Time to make a trade indeed.

Schoop might be ready in July.

Flaherty to Navarro to Schoop? Trade?

Before we look at a trade, we have to give Yamaico Navarro a look. His bat has been too good for us to completely abandon what he might do for us.

Also, why did it take this long to figure out he needed surgery?

No it is not. Not as this time anyway. IMO

Seriously.... if he had had the surgery initially he would only be a few weeks away.

Surgery is always a last resort, if there is even a slim chance it heals on it's own they will wait and see what happens. They did, and it didn't.

Flaherty to Navarro to Schoop? Trade?

I wish I knew.

I would be on the phone with the Phillies wanting to know if they would be interested in a salary dump. They could talk me into anyone under Schoop on the prospect list (I want money coming back if they want Rodriguez).
