    Redding back in the rotation? They brought up Jeremy Griffiths, the other guy in the Hidalgo-Weathers trade.

    Boy this season was a waste. They should try very hard to resign Beltran and just build the team around he and Berkman and start the rebuilding process. Reading,Bagwell, Ausmus, and the entire bullpen (except Lidge) must go ASAP.

    Uh oh. According to 610am, Miller's MRI revealed "fraying" in the rotator cuff.

    Is that bad?

    heard 610 say he'd be out for a month. Anytime the word rotator cuff is mentioned it can't be good

    Rotator cuff injuries could be very serious and very painful. If he needs surgery then he's finished for the year. Let's hope that he doesn't need to go under the knife and maybe he can come back in a few weeks.

    This is not good at all. Miller has pitching well lately.

    Here is the smart definition :)

    http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/rotatorcuff/a/rotatorcuff.htm


    What is the rotator cuff?

    The rotator cuff is a component of the shoulder joint that aids in allowing the shoulder to function as the most unique joint in the body. In part due to the rotator cuff, the shoulder joint can move and turn through a wider range than any other joint in the body; this allow us to perform an amazing variety of tasks with our arms. Unfortunately, a rotator cuff injury is not an uncommon problem, and these injuries make many routine activities difficult and painful. The rotator cuff is part of this mechanism that, when healthy functions very well, but when injured can be a difficult and frustrating problem.

    The rotator cuff is actually a group of four muscles that attach to the shoulder blade (scapula), and wrap around the front, back, and top of the shoulder joint.

    Together the rotator cuff muscles help guide the shoulder through many motions, and also lend stability to the joint. The ends of the rotator cuff muscles form tendons that attach to the arm bone (humerus).

    Anytime you hear "rotator cuff" and a pitcher's name in the same sentence, it cant be good.
