Uh Oh...
Per WHDH Boston and Joe Amorosino, it looks like Coco Crisp may have broken or fractured his hand on that slide that I said in yesterday's blog would only keep him out day-to-day. It appears that Crisp didn't think the injury was serious, but then it swelled up after the game. Nobody else has this story besides WHDH. WEEI and BostonDirtDogs are just using the WHDH report as a source. Amorosino is claiming Crisp will be out a month minimum, and more like 6-8 weeks.
Pleeeeeaase for the love of all that is good, let this be false. I need a confirmation from a credible news source before I start flipping out.
If it's true, who is our new center fielder? I gotta think Adam Stern gets the nod over WMP.
*Edit* The Red Sox are going to announce what the hell is going on with Coco's left index finger during Ortiz's 3 p.m. press conference.
Per the Globe:
Boston Red Sox Medical Director Dr. Thomas Gill this afternoon issued the following statement regarding the condition of outfielder Coco Crisp:
“Coco has a non-displaced fracture at the base of his left index finger,” said Gill. “He will be placed in a splint for 10 days and reevaluated at that time. Once sufficient healing has occurred, Coco can begin batting and return to baseball activities. No surgery is indicated at this time.”
So he's out a minimum of 10 days. Please God don't let it be any worse than that...
*another edit*
The news keeps changing on this story. As of right now, he's going to be in a splint for 10 days, then might need surgery afterwards depending on the re-evaluation. This spring, Luis Rivas had a nondisplaced fracture in his hand and was initially supposed to miss only about 15 days. After later evaluation, he needed surgery and the recovery time was uppoed to 6-8 weeks. Godspeed, Coco!
If this team cannot win without their leadoff hitter for a month, then they weren't built for a title run in the first place. Let's just hope Timmy Wakefield isn't matched up against too many lefties this month, so we see a lot of Stern, and not so much Wily Mo.
An update on the Ortiz extension is coming. Boy, it's been a busy day for Red Sox news today.
