Rolen Out 4-6 More Weeks
After surgery on his shoulder. I say just shut him down for the year.

Not a huge loss. An injured Rolen isn't any better than Cairo or Frazier. I'm all for him taking however long it takes if it means he can get back to where he was at the start of last year. I'm not even sure if that is possible though.

I think they should shut him down for the rest of the season and let Frazier take over 3B.

Re: Rolen Out 4-6 More Weeks
Basically his season is over, at his age there is no way he gets healthy and rehabs before the final few weeks of the season which ends in late Sept this year.

Re: Rolen Out 4-6 More Weeks
Rolen's defense is still MILES better than Cairo....that's what I miss.

I just think it's time to call it quits Scott. You are very close to a Hall of Fame 3rd Baseman. You are basically Ron Santo from a Hall of Fame similarity perspective. Last edited by FireDusty; 08-03-2011 at 04:12 PM. |

Rolen was a great pickup for the Reds but I think his time is done. He should probably hang it up even if the surgery is successful.

Made over $100 million during his career already. He could save the Reds $6.5 million if he retires at the end of this season, but John Fay reports zero chance of that. Gamer. I expect this to play out like the Griffey debacle. Baker will mindlessly keep running him out there, batting him 5th or 6th, out of respect. A shadow of a shell.
