MLB.com: Andruw to have knee surgery

After an unsuccessful pregame workout Saturday, Dodgers outfielder Andruw Jones decided to undergo surgery to repair torn cartilage in his right knee and will be placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Dr. Neal ElAttrache will operate on Jones on Tuesday. Recovery time is estimated at four to six weeks. He will be replaced on the roster by Terry Tiffee, who is hitting .422 at Triple-A Las Vegas, leading the Pacific Coast League.

To make room for Tiffee on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers moved Nomar Garciaparra to the 60-day disabled list, an indicator that his calf injury is not healing and still has not be definitively diagnosed.

The chances of either Andruw or Nomar ever being decent players again, or even playing regularly again, seem very slim at this point. Damn shame how much Nomar tailed off over the past few years; there for awhile he was the best "pure" RH hitter going.

This should finally give the Dodgers the excuse to go with the kids.

The 25 man already includes Loney, Kemp, DeWitt, Ethier, Hu, Young, Kuo and Kershaw starts tomorrow. of course you would know this if when you opened your eyes, they weren't blocked by a colon.


Maybe you should just stick to Boston sports.

Well, pitchers don't factor into his statement at all. Nor does the 25 man roster composition, as that doesn't mean the kids on the roster are getting PT. I haven't followed the Dodgers PT situation much, except for being pleased that Ethier is getting a lot, but I think you could have made a cogent rebuttal that the young OFers are already getting PT with little effort.

the starting first baseman, catcher, third baseman and two of the outfielders are under the age of 26.
Thats 5 of the starting 8 ..

You're the one who goes by "kevin".

You really should listen to Mark Twain.

To be fair, it's not like the Dodgers have a veteran catcher that has a chance of being as good as Martin. And one of the 3b/1b spots is only open because Nomar has been hurt since ST.

I'm not disagreeing with your statement, but if you had just said it this way in the beginning, it would have been a lot more reasonable.

The surname "LaRoche" has yet to be uttered in this thread.

That Andy has not been called up in preference to Terry Tiffee (!) seems to me to be absurd.
   9. Dr Stankus and the Semicolons Posted: May 25, 2008 at 07:12 AM (#2793854)
I'm not sure how what I said was a troll, kevin, although that can't be said about your statements.

As always, you are the pot calling the kettle black.
   10. Hello Rusty Kuntz, Goodbye Rusty Cars Posted: May 25, 2008 at 11:27 AM (#2793863)
Tiffee's more of a stereotypical bench player than LaRoche or DeWitt would be.
   11. Gern Blanston Posted: May 25, 2008 at 12:31 PM (#2793881)
Damn. You guys'll fight about anything. And I say this as one who's mixed it up with both Rambling Gent and kevin from time to time.
   12. GregQ Posted: May 25, 2008 at 01:21 PM (#2793895)
I wonder if Jones was damaged goods when the Dodgers signed him? That could explain why he showed up in such poor shape.
   13. Dr Stankus and the Semicolons Posted: May 25, 2008 at 01:51 PM (#2793908)
There's an example of your inability to follow the simplest of logic. That isn't even close to true.

I believe LaRoche is still injured and may be out for at least another month. Of all the young players in this game which I have followed, he is probably most deserving of a do-over for his first two years.

Grammar minute: "You're", not "your".
   16. Dr Stankus and the Semicolons Posted: May 25, 2008 at 02:46 PM (#2793937)
kevin, your lies persist.

And that's another of your false themes. You are constantly attacking people for not adding anything to the site. Look in the mirror, buddy.
   17. Dr Stankus and the Semicolons Posted: May 25, 2008 at 02:47 PM (#2793938)
Why would there be a verb?

LaRoche has been playing in Vegas again, .242/.455/.439.

Dallas McPherson would be my choice for a do-over. He's hitting .298/.393/.660 in AAA Albuqurque for the Marlins right now.
   19. Charter Member of the Jesus Melendez Fanclub Posted: May 25, 2008 at 03:38 PM (#2793979)
I wonder if kevin cries every morning he wakes up and realizes he's still kevin.
   20. Dr Stankus and the Semicolons Posted: May 25, 2008 at 03:53 PM (#2793987)
That would imply that he has some ability to look inside himself and modify his behaviour in a meaningful fashion.
   21. Dr Stankus and the Semicolons Posted: May 25, 2008 at 04:02 PM (#2793990)
kevin,

There's no co-ordination here. Independently, many people have come to detest your behaviour.

Get a grip. It's a perfectly reasonable position for us to take. Quit trying to play the victim.
   22. Eamus Catuli Posted: May 25, 2008 at 04:53 PM (#2794021)
Has any team ever wasted more money trying to fill one position than the Dodgers did signing Pierre and then Jones?

(Leave aside starting pitchers like Zito and Hampton, and think only about position players.)
   23. Random Transaction Generator Posted: May 25, 2008 at 06:58 PM (#2794090)
Is he ever going to be good again?

That's all that matters to me.
