Would Beau Mills be a good call up?
Would Beau Mills be a good call up?
Two thoughts:
1. I can't remember the last time someone was announced as being out "3-4 weeks" and came back in less than 6-8.
2. Given #1, season is probably done for the Reds.

Likewise, I find it comical that you think Votto wasn't playing with a torn meniscus the entire time. Like I said earlier in the thread (and many others have said) a torn meniscus is as minor as it gets when it comes to knee surgeries. However, the point is that it's very likely Kremchek failed in terms of finding the tear when examining Joey in LA (a few days after the injury).
Hey, we can agree to disagree. It's all good on my end. You think it's "comical" that I think Votto in fact suffered the tear when he slid into third in San Fran. I think your stance is comical. Maybe we should do a stand-up act together.

If there's a silver lining for the Reds, it comes at a soft spot in their schedule: Including Monday's game against Arizona, 24 of their next 27 games are against teams currently with losing records.
For those thinking 3-4 weeks is "more like 6-8 weeks" I disagree. I think "3-4 weeks" is a conservative estimate.
Running backs suffer torn meniscus and are back in 2 weeks. Maurice Clarett in 2002 comes to mind immediately. There's tons of NFL examples too. So, if football RBs come back on average in 2-3 weeks from the injury, I have no question a baseball first baseman can too.
If this was a football player he would be back in 2-3 weeks given the knowledge we have of the situation. Didn't one of the UC post guys play basketball 7 days post surgery a few years back?
My guess is that he is back in the first week of August.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
If this is the case then it's a failure on everyone (Votto included) for not taking advantage of the 4-day break during the All Star week and resting the knee.
So either way, there is some fault.
If the excuse is they just found out it was damaged, I'm sorry there is no excuse to be just finding that out with the money they have invested in him. If they already knew from the week it happened, he should have been resting last week.
