Actually, I do visit quite a few boards and have seen it at WSI form time to time, but it seems to be most prevalent here. If this is so widely known, why has it not been out in the media? There are a few columnists in this city that would be screaming for this guy to be let go if his hip was in that bad of shape.
southside2k3, I like that line-up as well.
He and the team have been questioned about the hip several times, and everytime he has denied there is anything wrong with it. If they admitted there was this hip problem, the Sox would be brutalized for giving him $20 million this past off season. So it is kept quiet. Plus there are many privacy issues regarding injuries, just look at Williams with the Bulls and how very little information was going out on that. If the White Sox and Paulie don't want his condition out in the press, it won't be. You don't drop off that fast when you're 27 years old unless there is something physically wrong.
