Eddie Guardado (LHP, CIN) When Cincinnati traded for
Guardardo from the Mariners, they knew they were rolling the
dice. It's a known fact; Guardado was damaged goods because
he has a pitching shoulder that is slowing tearing up due to
all the wear and tear of his career. The stiffness in his
pitching elbow is a new ailment for him. Could it be the
shoulder issues are now causing trouble with his pitching
elbow? For the record, the Reds state it's a very minor
problem, and they believe it can be treated with oral
medication and treatment. There is no talk of a stint on the
disabled list, but the situation does need watching.
