Good news: Chris Perez feels much better, stating that his left side hurts more like bruise than a pulled muscle. He hopes to be pitching in spring games by the middle of the month. That's quite a departure from the 4-to-6 week timetable that we were originally presented with, so let's hope CP doesn't rush back and injure himself further.
Bad news: Don't expect to see Rafael Perez anytime soon. He's on the shelf with a sore pitching shoulder. Listed as day-to-day, the truth is that no one knows when he will make his spring debut. Also, Aaron Cunningham, you know that dude that no one has ever heard of but we (essentially) traded two prospects for and has no options left so if we don't keep him for opening day we might get squat, has a sore left hand that he has described as throbbing with pain from his fingertips to his elbow and is out indefinitely as well.
Cross your eyes, Ubaldo takes the hill in 3 hours.
Cheers.
