I’ll admit, I said last week that I did not think he’d need to be out anywhere near that long.    I was wrong.   

Trumbo said yesterday that he was around the seventh  month of a rehab that takes 9-12 months. He is a little ahead of schedule.Hopefully not 12 months but we shall see.Him coming back in late July or August would serve no purpose.

I don't think him coming back in May or June would serve a purpose.

Elias is probably just trying to keep Trumbo's service time down.

I think this could improve the odds of him having any July trade value.  I kind of see him in the Roger Clemens partial season mold now.  If he shows the league he can hit for 6-8 weeks in June and July, it'll be a feature not a bug that his rehab was extensive and there's no April/May wear and tear.  And if he can't hit anymore, then he just can't hit, so there was never a chance anyway.

I hope Mancini's in a strategy meeting with someone this week where they are telling him he can pass on his OF gloves forever, and that they want him to spend a year focusing on how to beat the DH penalty.  My wish for Mancini is the top third of the order, 160 games and 700 PA's - just go hit.  There's no regular on the team good enough that you still want them in for the half-day off.

New drinking game, have a drink every time a poster mentions “service time” on OH.

I advise using beer  to avoid an unnecessary trip to the ER.

I assume this is a quality of life surgery not a real return to baseball one.

Would not be surpirsed. Trumbo has to be thinking will he be able to walk in 20 years without major pain with the injuries he has endured.
