It seems to be a twitter rumor started by Andy Furman
of course there is minor. lets just hope it is minor.
If this is true, that means no Votto for at least two weeks.
Sports reporter from WVA is the one I got it from via Lance Mcalister...
Andy Furman posted about it 5 minutes before Bob Hertzel
Having said that ... Joey is definitely not right, and hasn't been for almost a month now. If the organization thinks he needs "minor surgery" during the season, then obviously it's a pretty big deal. As the OP said, no knee surgery is really "minor".
this will be a huge test for us. 2 weeks is not for ever but it could hurt. we need people to step up.
If it's truly a meniscus thing, then surgery is the best bet. I had a full tear in mine when I was about 20. Hobbling but still walked on it for a month. A week after the surgery I was back to jogging, a week after that I felt perfectly fine.
On top of that, JV is a world class athlete, which I am not, so hopefully his recovery is even better than mine was.
Ugh.....if only 2 weeks and he comes back as Votto, it'll be fine.
I knew Frazier playing first was not a day off thing.
Why didn't they do it at the ASB and save some time........
