I'd call Loria and tell him you want to help him with his fire sale.

Who's cleanup now? Phillips or Frazier?
IF Only H-Rod would not make Willie Greene look like Rolen on D....I would love to have him up there at 3B.
The issue is..... BP back hitting 4th? It just will not die....even when they do not want him to hit 4th. Now they are stuck with it again beacuse Ludwig cannot slide with his feet first. Cozart now batting 2nd?? I am a little bit down after all this. I kniw it is one game...but the thought of Cozart back hitting 2nd is terrible.
I would absolutely not bring Rolen back. Third base belongs to Frazier, he's earned it. Let Xavier Paul take the everyday LF role until Ludwick can return. Let Frazier hit fourth.

if it's up to me id either move frazier up to 4 or bruce up to 4
From what I have gathered on this, assuming he truly has a dislocated shoulder the severity can have a pretty wide window of outcomes.
Here is a very rudimentary write up on the injury as it related to Jacoby Ellsbury last year.

I'd be surprised if it weren't Choo, Heisey, Votto, Phillips, Bruce, Frazier, Cozart, catcher.
I've been unhappy with Heisey ever since his last effort to play full time when Stubbs got hurt, i think it was fairly early last season. Heisey is an overly aggressive batter IMO. Swings very hard at almost everything.
Still, there really isn't any other choice, so I'm hoping Chris is more successful this time around.
Ugh. It seems like the best case scenerio is 6 weeks. But shoulders are very tricky, and this could potentially end his season.

All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

I'm worried about how this affects him going forward. Maybe he'll rehab it and bounce right back, but you never know how an injury like that can wear on an already aging player like Ludwick. On a separate note, there's gotta be some Hamilton talk stirring up tomorrow.
