The surgery shouldn't take long. There isn't much cartilage left in that knee.

Sorry. yes. of course, free agent.
I didn't even get past the first page before I was disgusted with this thread. Alot of the veteran posters should really think before you type. A player is hurt and going on the DL and the first thing you do is make smart-alec remarks about his "suckiness".
You should all (and you know who you are) be ashamed of yourselves. I really like Redszone.com and I have learned alot here but, sometimes with all the player-hating and negative vibe coming from alot of posters here it is really hard. Sometimes I swear this isn't Redszone anymore, it looks more like the old cincinnati.com forum.
Go ahead and ding my rep for this post all you want, it doesn't matter cause unless things start to change, I won't be here anymore.
I don't know if I am a veteran poster, but I am unapolgetic for hoping Milton takes a good 5 months to rehab this latest injury. I want him to be healthy as he looks ahead to retirement...
A player who makes a quarter millon per start is a pretty big target when he hasn't performed up to said contract.A player is hurt and going on the DL and the first thing you do is make smart-alec remarks about his "suckiness".
As for this not being "Redszone" I say complaining about Milton is more "redszone" than not.

Yes, the degenerative knee condition has caused the suckitude.
When a player is hurt, he doesn't play as well.
I think it's a fair assessment.

We could all see in the last start that Milton didn't look the same as he did in ST and his first two starts of the season. I remember in the game thread people were stating that something was wrong and that they thought he was hurt. Yes by all means that is relevant.
I'd say that, in general, if a post doesn't break the rules of the board, preaching against it is pretty fruitless.

But I've kind of gotten used to the concept that when someone around here says a player "sucks", I don't believe they mean it personally. It's pretty much about performance. Last year he sucked, massively.
I don't wish him any bad luck or ill will. He may be the nicest guy in the world. And it may well have been due to his knee injury, I don't know.
Likewise, when a player is playing "great", that doesn't necessarily mean he's a good guy. Barry Bonds, for instance.

Elizardo Ramirez will start Monday against the Nationals.
Ramirez is filling in for Eric Milton who will undergo knee surgery on Monday. The Reds are expected to juggle their bullpen so that Ramirez will go to the bullpen following the start and Matt Belisle will take the slot in the rotation
