Rowand down, "injured hand."

[masarume]

ooooooouch, that hurts

gonna have to dig deeper to find that gem

don't give up

[teddyballgamemvp]

who is taking over in CF while Rowand is out? Does Dellucci get any PT?

Shane Victorino, a highly regarded prospect, is the 4th OF. It's his job.

[chinst]

And Victorino has made quite a start in his new job -- 6 for 6, a homer, a triple, two doubles, 3 runs, 2 rbi...

Baseball Prospectus has always liked him.

I like Victorino myself. He was a Rule 5 guy, so his development was stunted a bit. He could turn out to be a good player.

As for my predictions... that's why they call them bold.
Claussen could still happen, but I doubt it. It's funny how many Reds I had predicted to do well (and I'm not a Reds' fan, not that there's anything wrong with that), for instance, Bronson Arroyo just missed my bold predictions, but he still made his way on my teams.

An owner in my league dropped him after the injury. Very pleased at this p/u. Here's today's update:

May 15 Zachary Levine, of Phillies.MLB.com, reports Philadelphia Phillies OF Aaron Rowand (nose) meet with members of the media Monday, May 15 - four days after breaking multiple bones in his face running into the center-field wall at Citizens Bank Park chasing down a fly ball from New York Mets OF Xavier Nady. "I didn't want to go into the wall for nothing," Rowand said. "I play hard. That's how I played as a kid. My coaches and my father taught me to play like that." Rowand will have the splint on his nose removed Thursday, May 18, and will be cleared to take swings off of a batting tee.

another maine sighting !! pigskinhorsehide up here in god's country !! how do you like the brunswick area ? where r u from ?

[pigskinnhorsehide]

Lol. I work for the railroad here in Montana. Bowdoin is a siding and there is nothing there so it's especially bad when we sit there for a couple of hours waiting for other trains, usually Amtrak who the railroad gods treat with kid gloves.

[Snakes Gould]
