OT: Phillies Lose Utley and Feliz For Spring 2009
The World Champion Phillies got some bad news for the holidays. Both Chase Utley and Pedro Feliz will miss time for the first part of Spring 2009.
This is second time this year that Feliz has taken time off with this injury. Without knowing exactly what the injury is, the description of the surgery/procedure sounds like the same one I had three years ago. Microdiscectomy or Discectomy is a "minor" surgery compared to disc replacement or fusion, but still is spinal surgery.
What does this mean for the rest of his career ? I am happy that Feliz got the chance to get a ring, but as an all glove/weak bat 3B, could it mean he's done ?

I just knew that trade would come back to haunt the Giants :-)

You mean we can’t trade Durham futures and worry about getting Durham until later?
