Soto - Giff - 04-08-2009
Is anyone worried that this shoulder issue could be serious?
Soto - rok - 04-08-2009
Yes.
Soto - kbwsb - 04-08-2009
Yes.
I think we collectively underestimate just how important that guy was to our 97-win season last year, but watching yesterday's game reminded me of just how good that guy is. He's got an all-around game, at the most important position. Losing him for an extended period would be like the '06 DLee injury, in my book.
Soto - Brock - 04-08-2009
Nah, we've got Koyie Hill.

Yeah to me that's the one we can't afford to lose for an extended period of time, and you can replace other positions via trade. You're not going to find any both good defensive catchers and good hitters out there on the trade market in April.

We can always beg the Bako to come back.

I was just wondering that actually. "Hey Paul, we know we just cut you for that 30-year-old career minor leaguer, but interested in catching a few games again for us?"
I'd doubt they'd have Theriot batting 7th or 8th if Soto's out, they'd probably swap him with Fuk. This was the sort of thing that could really prevent us from winning the division and I'll be back to freaking out again.

How far along is Wellington Castillo?
Soto - ColoradoCub - 04-08-2009
You guys crack me up. I'm going to wait until we get more info tomorrow, or until he has an MRI or something before I start freaking out.
Soto - Clapp - 04-08-2009
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->The current guess is Geovany Soto will miss two or three days after leaving Tuesday's game with right shoulder soreness.
Manager Lou Piniella said Soto may be sidelined until the weekend series in Milwaukee, but that the team would know more on Wednesday. Koyie Hill will catch Ted Lilly tomorrow.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Good.

There's currently 5 open spots on the 40 man, we could add Castillo, beg Bako to come back, sign LoDuca, etc. if Soto looked to be out for awhile (which it sounds like he won't). BTW, I hate having Hill as the backup catcher.

Hill made a hell of a nice play on that stolen base attempt last night. I'm not sold on him as an everyday catcher if Soto goes down, but we could do worse.
Soto - Butcher - 04-08-2009
I don't have a problem with Hill as the backup catcher.
