out 2-10 weeks according to CBS. that's a helpful estimate.

If Mattingly goes with Uribe and Hairston over Gordon im going to start calling him names that cannot be repeated in this clean forum.

MRI's not back yet. Everything is meaningless speculation until it comes back.

Me too!

I traded an 8 Gordon s1 and Ryan Braun 52 s2 for the number 3 overal reserve pick. The deal is not looking real hot right now. That said, I knew in the back of my mind a injury would quickly vault his value.

Start generating your list of names now, especially if Punto plays some 3B too.

If Ramirez can’t play on April 1, Cruz will likely replace him at shortstop.

“That’s really who was doing it last year and kind of settled us down at short,” Mattingly said.

Under that scenario, the Dodgers would probably rotate Jerry Hairston Jr., Juan Uribe and Nick Punto at third base.

Here is today's unofficial update. Dodgers to talk soon reportedly.

#Dodgers: Torn ligament in Ramirez's right thumb. Surgery tomorrow in LA. Thumb immobilized for three weeks. Expected back in about 8 weeks.

"The Dodgers plan to start Luis Cruz at shortstop.
Cruz was expected to open the 2013 season as the Dodgers' starting third baseman, but Hanley Ramirez tore a ligament in his thumb during the World Baseball Classic so there is now a hole at short. Juan Uribe and Nick Punto will likely handle the load at the hot corner. "

Who are you quoting?

because Uribe is definitely still a great player...gag me. I hope Mattingly and the whole Dodgers season goes down in flames. They are the 2012 Marlins reincarnated.

But without Ozzie Guillen. That takes half of the fun out of it.

Not for this Giants fan living in LA.

[JudeBaldo]

Woo, injuries!


Go take more steroids, Giant fan.

I wasn't cheering for injuries sorry.

I was cheering for the Dodgers demise. :-)

So what we can expect from Cruz this year then? Also, does this mean his leash just got a little longer?
