Wow! The injury bug is starting to rear its ugly head.

Yeah, I'm trying to get all my guys injured early this year, and not wait for the regular season.

And, by the way, he was much tougher when he was "Mike".

He also had a significantly better sidearm slider before the name change

Did anything ever come of this or is Giancarlo all ready to go?

Rotoworld hasn't had an update on him since March 16, when it said he would be sidelined until at least this Friday.

Per the Miami Herald, March 21:

The three injured Marlins (Stanton, Morrison, Dobbs) received medical clearance on Tuesday to resume "baseball activities," but that's a vague term, one that carries different meanings. What it doesn't mean is that any of the three is ready to resume playing. Not immediately.

Stanton has been sidelined by 1) a bruised wrist which has now fully healed and 2) a sore knee that remains a problem. Manager Ozzie Guillen said the plan is to go "slower" with Stanton as he works his way back.

Apparently the MRI shows no damage, but he is still feeling some pain. He could play if he needed supposedly but the Marlins want to go slow.

Stanton said that it hasn't got any worse but not much better either.

I feel bad.

I've ruined or at least diminished the careers of many fine young ballplayers simply by signing them to long-term fantasy league contracts.

Mea maxima culpa, Giancarlo.

Note to self: Avoid pitchers taken by Don Quixote and young hitters by Lucky.

And, yeah, he was a lot tougher as Mike. I think you get a pass on this one and the name change gets blamed.

It's nice to be recognized.
