Reading the Braves web site tonight, I didn't get a good feeling about Chipper's health. Sounds like nobody really knows if and when he's going to play. Even then, sounds like he will be playing hurt for the forseeable future. I picked up Ensberg as an insurance policy.
just imagine what his numbers would be looking like this year if he had not missed the games that he has.... maybe he can get healthy and the braves can fix that mess of a bullpen so they can make another run at the division....
Oblique muscles are in the ribcage, I think. They're totally engaged in a batter's swing. I don't mean to be wet blanket to you Chipper owners, but if it's severe, these can linger for 4-6 weeks.
