Machado injury (Sprained Knee Ligament- 15 Day DL)

[FlipTheBird]

no, don't think I will

Well, I hope it's a nice pedestal, then.

I think we will know alot about what the teams feels about Manny in the next weed to 10 days. If he is not getting better by this time next week I expect them to make a trade for an infielder. Myabe not a great one or even a good one but I can't see them putting Phelps on the playoff roster.

Lew Ford and Endy Chavez made their last playoff roster.

Lew Ford and Endy Chavez made their last playoff roster.

Chavez had 2500 major league at bats in his career at the time and 150 that season. Ford had over 1500 at bats and 80 that season. Cord Phelps has 114 in his career and just 1 this season there is a huge differences betweeen those three guys.

It all depends if Manny comes back for the playoffs.

Personally, I think they push the 15 day DL to 30 days and bring him back slowly (if they can afford to) with the big picture of having him 100% by the playoffs.

Ford hadn't even appeared in the majors for years before 2012, and had begun the year on buses between places like Waldorf and York. He was as unlikely a playoff starter as anyone I'd ever seen.

I think that we should wait until Manny is declared out for the season before we panic so.

My therapist and doctor told me the MCL does. *shrug*

Sorry I have been busy, but I did not forget. After researching the MCL it appears I was wrong and this was the easiest explanation I was able to find:

http://espn.go.com/trainingroom/s/1999/1004/97166.html

Dr. Selesnick: The good news about MCL injuries is that unlike ACL tears, which are most often repaired through surgery, the MCL has a good blood supply and usually responds very well to non-surgical treatment. Depending upon the grade, a period of rest, bracing and physical therapy is usually sufficient for a complete healing process. The rest period is prescribed to include ice, compression and elevation (RICE), while the brace is designed to allow the knee to move back and forth but not laterally.

After a range of motion is regained and the swelling has diminished, the individual may work on strengthening the muscles of the quadriceps and hamstrings

Just to clarify: Not saying this is what Manny had injured, as I haven't followed enough lately as I have been really busy. Did they ever say which ligament was sprained for sure, or just that he sprained a ligament?

Finally, a little humor for the few humorless... I am not looking to blow people up here... I have said it many times on this thread... I am doing this so people can back off of expectations... and for those who would argue, I am not going to reveal my medical background, but I will tell you that I know from whence I speak...

Why won't you? Are you some kind of secret agent knee specialist for the CIA?

Are you the OT to the President? Would saying, "hey guys I'm a knee doctor and here's what I think..." lead to the collapse of global markets?

Why do people do this?

I see an avatar change in your future.

My wife watches this show, and I can tell her if it's an old one or a new one based on pre/post enhancement.

Yes, enough hijack.

What did she get enhanced? I knew she looked different this season and couldnt put my finger on it...

Why do people do this?

a) some people are just very private by nature

b) some people are paranoid and protective about identity theft/fraud

c) some people don't want to admit they're chiropractors or dentists after giving medical advice

d) some people are actually not who they say they are on the internet (not me, Chuck Norris, of course)

e) some people want to be doctors but find education to be a time suck

f) short people got, nobody

You could put all ten fingers on what she had enlarged.

All pretty bad news.
