Any surgery is never minor. And remember Dr. K is doing it.

On the scale of "brain transplant" to "wart removal," this surgery sounded rather more towards the latter.

As Dr. Kremchek is one of the most respected sports surgeons in the country, even better.

Reds trainear Paul Lessard said that the entire procedure took about six minutes.

Did they say if they gave him an MRI at any point?

They equipped him with new "MRI pants."

I doubt it would be that long. They'd want to have him back by the end of the month for the stretch run and the playoffs.

Yes. He had an MRI done the same day.

The ripping of Dr. Kremcheck might be my favorite all-time RZ topic.

Re: Votto out additional 7-10 days

Didn't Griffey wait until at least his 2nd year to start having health issues?

I'm sorry....but the guy never has been hurt and now in his 1st year of that contract not only him but Phillips start getting these injuries..... it's too much for the paranoid mind of a Reds fan to take..... i cannot be believe this is not some cosmic payback still for the Reds run from 1961-1981.

Oh that wasn't in response to you, was just having some fun . I've been hyperventilating about this all day. You'd think he had a torn MCL, ACL, PCL, and UCL the way I reacted to the news. I just want him back, is all .

Joey Votto, baseball player. A man barely alive.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic first baseman. Joey Votto will be that first baseman. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.
