A torn hamstring tendon and he should be ready by next week? As Vinnie would say, I "dought" that. |

If he sprained his hamstring he would miss two-three weeks minimum. I don't know what "hamstring tendon" is located in the Knee, but I can't see how it could have anything to do with the actual hamstring if he's only day-to-day. |

I guess it's behind the knee because he was saying how the strap to his shinguards puts pressure on it. If we don't know more about it by tomorrow, I will ask my dad exactly what it is, and how if affects you. |

I wish they'd just give Nieves or Hill a shot to start instead of that piece of sh*t Stinnett. No way they could be worse. |

Hill might be. He looks lost at the plate at Columbus. I saw an at bat tonight and he's hitting something like .130. I'm fine with giving Nieves a shot and actually I do agree, I'd prefer Hill over Stinnett, just because we know Stinnett is useless. They should call up Navarro and give him a shot. Oh wait. |

I had the same kind of injury when I was a sophomore during baseball season and it only lasted like a week and I played on it so if he's resting it he should be fine...it feels like a back injury cuz the tendon connects in the lower back |

Thanks for the info! Hopefully it won't be more than a few games then. I read the Yankees have requested Nike to create a shin guard with padded straps, so it doesn't apply as much pressure on the tendon. Hopefully it will arrive quicker than Pedro's padded Nike cleat. |

I always assumed that if you tear something, you'd probably need surgery. How is this anything different or some major rehab work. How is this anything different? |

:please: Here's da rub. Both Hill and Nieves are out of options and will have to clear waivers when they are demoted after posada returns... :evilgrin: |

I guess now all of you Posada haters get to find out what 80% of other teams go through at the catcher position. |

Michael Kay was saying that it sounds more serious than it is (the connotation for "torn tendon") because it's a tendon that isn't necessary. It's most often what's used in tendon replacement surgeries - I guess like skin grafting. Posada expects to catch on Sunday. |

I saw Hill in the dugout. My sauces tell me Matt Smith went down, and Sturtze was transferred to the 60-day DL. |
