I'm betting the house (that)Mr. 'Bump In The Road' will miss some more games this year. I'd say, "Thanks for everything and good luck where ever you go."
Regardless of the kind of year he has, unless we can get rid of Alex & use Tex as a DH I'd rather just pass on the torch to Bird & see what he can do on a full time basis.
Yet, sounds like there will no Bird Singing this year neither.... (a torn labrum is hell to recover from) This say's it all, IMO, tho' I've long hoped for a different fate for Tex: TAMPA, Fla. -- Mark Teixeria has not been able to play a full season in five years, and his next birthday, on April 11, will be No. 36. But he did have a good season in 2015 before it ended abruptly in August due to a broken leg suffered when he fouled a ball off his shin.
As you know Rob I've torn the labrum in BOTH my shoulders over the years & I was fine within 6 months. And I didn't have all the machines & therapists helping me to heal
Yes, indeed Rick, You've had enough shoulder and spinal surgeries, to keep Surgeon's from going out of Business.
