Sad news about Omar Vizquel
It appears that Omar Vizquel will have to miss 4-6 weeks, possibly missing the beginning of the regular season with a torn medial meniscus in his left knee. Here is something about his injury here: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...x_Weeks-280208
Team doctors said the surgery went exactly as planned and he’ll be on schedule to return sometime the first week of the season, barring any setbacks. However, the 41-year-old shortstop may not heal as quickly as we need him to. With age comes longer healing times and it could be the end of April before we truly see him take the field and playing at 100 percent.
What this means for the Giants is that Kevin Frandsen will get the opening day starting job at short, ending his competition with Ray Durham for the job at second.
This also means that we will see Rich Aurilia as the starting third baseman, unless the Joe Crede deal goes through before the end of spring training. I just hope that this doesn’t put more pressure on the front office to bring someone on that we don’t need. I’d hate to see us lose a great prospect just to put on a band-aid.
