Colin Curtis is having surgery today to repair his injured right shoulder.
The Yankees initially believed Curtis would be rehabbing for about a month after suffering a shoulder subluxation during spring training. At the time Curtis said he wanted to avoid surgery “at all costs.”
He hurt himself making a diving catch on March 6. Although he no longer seemed to be favoring the shoulder in the clubhouse, Curtis went for another exam while the Yankees were in Boston and the decision was made that he would need surgery.
It’s unclear at this time how much longer Curtis will be out.
how often does rehab actually work?
seems like more often than just not it just delays the inevitable and loses time
Too bad…seems like a good kid.
would expect to be a lot of runs scored in the first two games of the series with Tex
BTW..AGone got a lot of $$$$$$$

He should have gouged the Red Sox for more. How the heck does Ryan Howard get paid more than Gonzalez? Silly
Yes of course they can lose in the playoffs, and I realize they are facing bad teams, but dude they look mad good
–
They had a good turn. Hamels first start 2.2 IP 7 H 6 R? Go look at the Yankees rotation April 15-21 last year. They looked pretty good through that stretch.
The Phillies rotation is probably going to have 4 guys around a low 3 ERA. Thats awesome, not unbeatable.
guess contract won’t start till next year saving Bos some tax money this year…where is their payroll now with this signing

Ok if I could edit my post i’d say “Has anyone been following the Phillies this year? They look super awesome, although they are facing bad teams right now. If their starting pitching holds up they will be hard to beat in October”
Happy?
Let’s see how many innings The Phillie staff accumulates between now and October…..
without losing any big salary in 12 it will be $176 mil
You have to adjust that 3.00 ERA for league differences, so it’s a little misleading.
Listen Patrick, I don’t know why you’re getting all whiny about this. Did you just want a bunch of people to agree with you that the Phillies can’t be beaten?
“I have no idea how they can be beaten in the playoffs their starting pitching is just too good. That team is going to steamroll everyone in October.”
“He should have gouged the Red Sox for more. How the heck does Ryan Howard get paid more than Gonzalez?”
Because that’s not how markets work.
Howard has the 4th largest annual salary ever given to a player, the top three being
1.) Clemems
2.) ARod
3.) Arod again
People expecting $24-$25m salaries to become commonplace are in for a long wait.
kind of happy the pie has returned
Jerkface,
I’m not getting whiny, I thought I was agreeing with you in my last post. After listening to what you had to say I would seriously go back and edit my original post. You’re right, I was overreacting about how good they are. Relax man..
“kind of happy the pie has returned ”
Well , yeah, for two reasons:
1) It means wins.
2) It’s not currently AJ’s primary contribution.
If you’re agreeing with me do it less sarcastically
Patrick ready to crown the Phillies???
Shocking and disappointing.

All is forgiven, except all the slobbering over the Phillies.

The Braves had a top notch pitching staff in the 90s and that didn’t net them much hardware.

Wow, good call not bringing him to NY.
Why are all these Yankees getting hurt on March 6th (it’s my birthday)? First Gardy a couple years ago, now Curtis. Maybe they should take that day off and celebrate me.

All it takes is one swing of the bat or another starter having an especially good day and your good pitching is worthless. Its important to have good pitching because its more likely to be good each outing of course, but anything can happen in the playoffs.
ok when the season was about to start all of these experts were telling me i was dead wrong on the phils they are going to suck, they are old and thier offense will suck.
so now two weeks in they are exactlly what i said they would be.
now its because they are playing inferior teams and are lucky.
in two weeks when they are still on cruise control and utley is back, they will have another reason that the braves will beat them.
so ill just drop it for now and rub it in thier faces again in 2 weeks.

You think Utley will be back in 2 weeks?
You’re going to gloat about a 162 game season every 2 weeks?
i think utley will be about to come back in 2 more weeks, not actually back and playing yet.
they dont seem to be missing him very much to this point.
no im just going to remind everyone who keeps telling me that im wrong that im not.
some have Utley out until the ASG.
Who are these nameless people you are gloating to?
how did agon agree to a contact less that tex’s? if I’m him, I demand that they pay me 8/195 or i hit free agency and let the cubs bid on my services. baltimore too.
what do i know but agon may have cost himself 50 million
Yeah, just read that Utley is likely to come back right around All-Star break…..Although I still think it remains to be seen how good he will be when he returns. And no, the Phils don’t seem to be missing him….yet.
Randy, I saw that you compared Lester to Phil in terms of velocity, but I don’t think it’s as simple as that. Maybe Phil hasn’t had the bump in velocity that Lester has (or even most young pitchers) just because – maybe he simply does not have the ability to throw harder than he normally does. Maybe Phil matured early, unlike many young pitchers…..It happens.
I don’t love what the stint in the pen did for Phil in some ways, so I don’t see how putting him there would help. Sending him to Tampa is not a punishment -it would be a way to try and fix what’s broken.
The thing is, at what point do you quit working solely on the FB? Part of the reason Phil is struggling now is because he only throws FB (and cutters) – he stopped using his curve and hardly ever used his change.
i dont think utley began a running program in april in the hopes of coming back at the asb. the phils want to put all the speculation away and when he comes back, he comes back. pretty much the exact opposite of the way the mets handle injuries.
Lets see how the Phillies do when their bats come back down to earth before we crown them with anything.
There is an article just printed 30 minutes ago about the slow progression of Utleys return from injury.

===================================
Howard has a lot more HR’s and RBI than AGone in almost the same number of AB’s.
Hitting always trumps fielding prowess.
“how did agon agree to a contact less that tex’s?”
As I alluded to this morning, he may have decided that rather than risk being a FA at the same time as Pujols, it was in his best interests to take the security of a pretty decent offer that was already on the table, especially given his potential shoulder issues.
ok well talk again in 2 weeks
i read that beltran wouldnt be back till the end of april. must’ve gotten thier months wrong.
Utley’s made a lot of progress in the last 30 minutes, that article is very dated.
So the article about whatever running program you’re talking about is true, but the article about Utley not progressing isn’t?
Does Carlos Beltran have a chronic knee ailment?
Whichever article was published on google is the one more likely to be true.
Re: Utley….

not sure how dated this article from today is, but it doesnt sound like a setback or an asb return to me…
Fri, Apr 15
2B Chase Utley made an important step — or several — on his hopeful return from chronic right knee pain. For the first time since being shut down when the exhibition schedule started in late February with knee pain, Utley went through running drills Thursday afternoon. “He’s progressing as he tolerates,” assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said. “And if he said he is OK trying to run, obviously he felt good enough to do that. We’ll see how he feels (Friday), that’s really the true test of his he’s progressing.” Utley was not available for comment. The five-time All-Star has made a handful of progressions since the Phillies decided the best way to treat his ailing knee was through rest and rehab, not surgery. On the weekend before the Phillies broke camp in Clearwater, Fla., Utley began taking ground balls. In the first week of the regular season, Utley added new work to the fielding drills, including working in a double play pivot at second base. On Thursday, he took several steps forward with what is arguably the toughest task: running. He went through shuttle drills, moving laterally in both directions. Later, he ran from first to third base. In the first-to-third drill, Utley ran at moderate speed between first and second before turning it up to game-type speed after making the turn at second and heading toward third. “He’s slowly getting better, he’s slowly feeling better,” manager Charlie Manuel said. “Hopefully he keeps going that way, too.” The Phillies do not have a time table for Utley’s return. When he is healthy enough to play in games, Utley will likely go on a somewhat extended minor league rehab assignment since he hasn’t faced live pitching since October.

This doesn’t sound like ready in 2 weeks
An exact date is not certain.
“He’s driving the train,” assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said.
That means the rehabilitation is going at Utley’s pace. Of late, he has made more lateral movement while participating in fielding drills. But all indications are that this remains a slow process.
“He’s progressing as he can tolerate,” Proefrock said. “He obviously felt good enough to do something more than he had been doing. Again, every time he does something he hasn’t done in the past, the next day is when you find out how it’s tolerating.”

This is the article I read, which is the same thing. Progressing slowly.
I was at the game last night and as Tony the Tiger would say ….It was GRRRRRRRRREAT !!!!!
I just finished going through the game posts and after game posts …my head is about to explode from all the Phil Hughes talk (which most of it is repeated ad nauseam). I’m just hoping Phil can come around soon. I feel so bad for him because he’s just such a good guy.
Besides the work of Chad & Sam my most enjoyable moments on this blog are reading the posts by CB. He is so knowledgeable. He never demeans anyone or comes off as a know it
all. His posts are well written and just such a pleasure to read. Thank you CB …I really appreciate your baseball knowledge.
Hoping the Yankees can sweep those Rangers back to Texas …I’ll be there Sunday night cheering on our man, CC. Have a good weekend all …remember …it’s a LONG season so let the players have a month or two before throwing them under the bus…;)
Go Yankees 2011 !!!
Polonco .360
Ruis . .351
Valdez .351
Rollins .320
Howard .304
This is sustainable….especially those first 3.

so where is this article from today you read talking about a setback? lemme guess, you forget where you read it, right?
How long before we start having Phillie trolls?
‘Proefrock’ sounds very made up. Don’t trust a word of it.
progressing slowly is not a setback.
“how did agon agree to a contact less that tex’s? if I’m him, I demand that they pay me 8/195 or i hit free agency and let the cubs bid on my services. baltimore too.”
Who is giving Gonzalez, Pujols and Fielder all that money?
People think Baltimore is doubling the salary of their next highest paid player, for a 1st baseman??
dont believe we’ve ever had any phillie trolls. just boston and a mets whacko every now and then when they win 3 in a row.
Pretty big test for Nova tonight against a lineup that’s almost as deep as the Yanks…though they are without Hamilton. Keep the ball down and throw strikes.
We had a huge Phillies troll for weeks last year
so where is this article from today you read talking about a setback?
–
I originally said slow progression, which is correct from the article I just posted which is the one that popped up in google reader
hamilton won mvp while missing a month last year, i guess this year he is going to try to outdo himself and win it while missing 2.
blake…I’m with you as this is the next step for Ivan…..Get into pitcher counts the first time through the lineup and then get them to chase the 2nd him around
Good artical on Gary Sanchez from the local Charleston paper.
http://www.postandcourier.com/.....sing-star/
I am glad that Sanchez’s injury is not serious. Everyone is saying he’ll be back in 5-7 days.
Hopefully all goes well with Curtis.
curtis had a big game the day we had the first lohud scranton game, i believe he had the game-winner and a great game.

Good advice and with Hamilton out Murphy is in and he finds ways to hurt the Yankees as do Cruz, Kinsler, and Young among others.

They offered a crapton of money for a 1B named Mark Teixiera???
i dont follow the yankees off the field. i know alot of people do and i have no problem with it, but personally i dont care who they are dating, how big thier houses are or what kind of car they drive. i’ve never asked for an autograph either, not even from willie mays, tom seaver or whitey ford.
i like baseball and i like a good ballplayer, but once the game is over, i dont care any more about what they do.
