soxman352000 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 My God how injury prone is this guy. First at bat back from the DL and he hurts himself running to first. WOW How much are the Indians paying him? I think he is done, just hang it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I think the Indians are paying 600K for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 How about this little tidbit : Juan Gonzalez has done things in a big way throughout his career. His latest injury follows that pattern. Instead of sustaining a ``normal'' hamstring pull in his first at-bat of the season Tuesday night, Gonzalez yanked his right medial hamstring totally off the bone at the knee joint. Indians head trainer Lonnie Soloff called it a ``significant injury,'' adding that Gonzalez ``felt it pop, and it came right off the bone.'' To be technically correct, the tendon attached to the hamstring was torn off the (tibia) bone. ``Juan might be out up to three months,'' Soloff said. ``This is an uncommon injury in baseball players. Right now, it's quite swollen and sore. We'll re-examine him in two weeks after the pain and swelling subside. A determination on when he can return to play will be made then.'' Does Juan ever train? does he ever do anything to help him through a season? The Indians have to be kicking themselves for trusting Gonzalez, 600K or not.

southsider2k5 Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 Another part of their genius off season. Juan Gonzalez who hasn't played a full year of baseball in god knows how long. Aaron Boone coming off of ACL surgery Kevin Millwood for $7 million, who is 1-4 (not a bad era though) and is on the DL with a strained right groin Alex Cora who is hitting .230 in a crowded infield. and no relief pitching signed with a bad and injury prone bullpen. Yeah, great off season there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 How much money has Gonzalez snaked out of the AL central in the past 10 years? This guy has to be the worst free agent signee every year for the past 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 While I highly doubt they were banking their whole offseason on this guy panning out they have had terrible luck on almost every pickup they've had.

Jabroni Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 "Gonzalez could miss three months" http://www.cleveland.com/tribe/plaindealer...3120.xml&coll=2 Minneapolis- Juan Gonzalez could miss the next three months after tearing a hamstring muscle off the bone below his right knee Tuesday. Wow. This guy couldn't stay healthy if he lived in a hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was part of the David Eckstien contingent, however... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember when it seemed everyone was clamoring for Cora to be a starting 2B. I'll say the same thing I said then. He's basically an older Willie Harris. He wasn't an upgrade. Not only that being that he's the brother of one of Ozzie's best friends you can imagine how much worse the favortism would have been then say Timo who just seems to be Ozzies boyfriend.
