My apologies if this was posted earlier but..

Save your ribs DeRosa!

We’re just not convinced the tendon issue is at the root of the numbness in his hand," Giants head trainer Dave Groeschner said. "We don’t want to have surgery on the tendon, and six months later" find that he still has numbness due to some other underlying issue.

I asked Groeschner if the Giants were taking extra measures because of the Noah Lowry numbness issue a few years ago, which obviously ended with misgivings and accusations of a misdiagnosis. Groeschner said no, the DeRosa and Lowry cases were completely unrelated.

I think Rowand’s UZR pretty much agrees with with what people say about him. Used to be great, now only pretty good. His only bad year is 2008, which is also the year he played with a fractured rib and looked immobile in the field.

The Affeldt comment a little ways up reminds me of something.

I don’t think we talk about Bochy’s macho BS as much as we should. I think a lot of this “he’s fine, just give him some rest and he’ll be good to go” crap comes from him. This is a guy who used to wrestle alligators and said he could survive a jump off the golden gate bridge.
