Wow...this is the worst Spring Training in recent memory.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Yeah, this is getting ridiculously horrible. He better be ok. He was hit in the knee btw. http://brewersbeat.mlblog...mcgehee_exits_early.html

For Fantasy Baseball's sake:

 

Maybe my trade offer of Carlos Zambrano and Ian Stewart for Casey will now get accepted.

[GoudaBrew]

Gotta just be a bruise right? Better than hurting your knee while running or sliding.

[And That]

Swear words.

[PrinceEatMeat]

It better just be a bruise. I'm fearing the worst, and hoping for the best.

[RobDeer 45]

Man this is just horrible! I really hope it's just a bruise but I'm guessing they are checking for a break. I don't think it would effect his tendons.

[PrinceEatMeat]

If he broke his kneecap, idk what I'd do. Maybe cry.

[Klements Bratwurst]

FYI- Some guy on JSONLINE thread about Patrick Egan being sent back to Baltimore stated that McGhee trotted to the cart and took the ride in to get X-Rays. If this is true, it would be better than having to get him at home plate with the cart, etc, which is what I assumed.... Now I don't know if this guy saw this at the game or what.....

The Brewers can't survive the injuries like the Packers that's for sure...

 

Are we really looking at the potential opening day lineup of:

 

2B Weeks

3B Counsell

LF Braun

1B Fielder

RF Kotsay

C Kottaras

CF Gomez

SS Betancourt

 

YUCK! I can't imagine a worse spring training than this one (save all these injuries being season enders).

[joepepsi]

They will certainly call up Gamel, right?

This would be the worst trade of all time....5 WAR worth of players for less than 2 in McGehee. I mean loving the home team is one thing, but stacking up your teams guys for fantasy isnt always the best move.

The Spring Trainings of 2001-2004 were worse, except the players were just bad, not injured.

[Hofbraunhaus]

I am really starting to dislike BF.net. It seems everyday when I come here there is a new headline that puts me in a bad mood. Seriously though, I hope Casey is alright. Let's just hope the Brewers are getting there injuries out of the way early and this means we will have a healthy season. If not, I'm going to have to start taking my Brewers talk to the political board so I can use the appropriate language for how I'm feeling.

[PrinceEatMeat]

They probably would if McGehee was out for an extended period of time, but hopefully he won't be.

And the guy won't take the deal! I know this isn't the thread for fantasy baseball talk but since you responded...I am burned every year by Zambrano (suspension and relieving last year) and Stewart, despite his hitting 18 HR in under 400 ABs and limitless potential, may be splitting time with Ty Wigginton. I'll take McGehee over the two of them any day.

X-Rays Negative! Woot!

[paul253]

What a horrible spring. This is exactly what I was worried about with our severe lack of depth. The only good news is that third base is the one position that we seem to have a major league ready replacement for him in Gamel. Maybe the Brewers should just forfeit the rest of the spring and take the week or so off.

[And That]

This is exactly what I was worried about with our severe lack of depth.

Well, when your opening day SP, #2 SP, LF, RF, C and 3B all have scary injuries - who has that depth?

[Funketown]

Ouch. Hopefully he gets better soon.

 

If he is out for a significant amount of time, at least we'll finally get to see what Gamel can do.

[PrinceEatMeat]

X-Rays Negative! Woot!

Yes! At least something went right.

Well, this is definitely a sigh of relief. He will probably just miss a few games now and be fine. Could've been a lot worse. No one wanted to see him be out an extended period of time, and have Gamel butchering balls over at 3B.
