with back surgery and is not expected back until late in the season if at all. With the Dodgers now only trailing the Diamondbacks by 1 1/2 games, it is conceivable we could be in 1st place by the all-star game. With that in mind it is imperative that Ned be pro-active and get us a real solution for our black hole. In-House Options: Nomar Garciaparra - they are actually talking like they think he can play SS. It is an interesting proposition but is it realistic? I think not, at least not when Lowe is pitching. Maza - The sooner he is relegated to utility infielder the better. I like Maza as long as he is Kent's caddy because he has looked like a great defensive 2nd baseman. Angel Berroa - the sooner he is released the better. This was an experiment doomed to failure from the beginning. No skills here. Ivan DeJesus - is our Futures representative for the World side and made the Southern League All-Star team. I've talked about him plenty of time on Blue Sparks so for those of you who read this web site you should already be educated on his progress this season. With that said while he would be a better option then Berroa or Maza is he going to be good enough to help this team get to the playoffs? I find it difficult to put much faith in a 21 year old SS with only 1/2 season of AA ball when his biggest plus is his plate discipline. It is doubtful that he can keep that plate discipline intact in his first taste of major league pitchi ... Source: ballhype.com --- 48 days ago

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal announced Wednesday that he will undergo surgery Thursday for a bulging disc in his lower back. The injury began late in the 2007 season, causing him to miss the Dodgers' last 12 games. It returned a second time early this season, causing Furcal to miss all but 32 games so far in 2008. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Robert Watkins, who will attempt to remove all of the ruptured disc pressing on a nerve in Furcal's lower back. Watkins performed a similar surgery on former Dodger Eric Gagne. Furcal looked promising at first in his Triple-A rehab, with a hit in his first game for Las Vegas. However, the stint proved short-lived when severe pain in his lower back forced Furcal to cut the rehab short and reevaluate surgery as an option. As recently as June 26, Furcal reported feeling fine and hoping to return to the majors soon. Furcal is among a large string of Dodgers on the disabled list, including Nomar Garciaparra, Andruw Jones, Jason Schmidt, Brad Penny, Scott Proctor, and, most recently, Juan Pierre. Like many MLB teams, the Dodgers' starting lineup can't seem to stay healthy. Prior to his injury, Furcal had a batting average of .366, which was good enough to lead the team. He also had five home runs, 12 doubles, and 16 RBI. ... Source: www.bignewsnetwork.com --- 48 days ago

I would have posted sooner, but was at the Thunder game tonight....Austin Jackson gave my daughter a ball as he was walking off the field in the 2nd inning. This from Tony Jackson's blog-and Kershaw is NOT happy: I was as surprised as you undoubtedly are, but no one was more surprised that Kershaw himself. Joe Torre stressed, both to Clayton and to the media, that the move was more about needing a roster spot for Hiroki Kuroda, who is coming off the DL and starting tonight, than it was about the way Clayton has pitched. But as Clayton himself said, ``Any way you spin it, I'm getting sent down. They can say they didn't have enough room, but they (brought) me up when they didn't have enough room, because all those (pitchers) were healthy then.'' Haven't gotten a definitive explanation yet of why it's Jacksonville and not Las Vegas, but I'm sure it's because they don't want to subject the kid to the psychological perils of pitching in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. ... Still nothing on Furcal, but Torre admitted he now has to take on the mindset that Furcal isn't coming back until he does. At this point, I'm not convinced he is coming back at all, but Torre was a bit more cautious. ``We have half a season (left),'' he said. ``I would like to think that is going to happen.'' He speaks like a veteran, and handles himself like a vet. I must say, I wonder if Torre let him pitch to Wiggy last night, and he got out of the inning, res ...

Filed under: Los Angeles , Dodgers , NL West , MLB Injuries , MLB Rumors , Injury Report , Fantasy MLB The injuries seemed like they were maybe, possibly, kind of taking a turn for the better for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Then they got the brutal news early Thursday that leadoff hitter and sparkplug of the offense Rafael Furcal will miss another eight weeks after undergoing back surgery. Manager Joe Torre would not concede that Furcal will be lost for the rest of the season, but neither did he say he's holding his breath awaiting Furcal's return. "From all the numbers I've heard, he'll probably miss a minimum of eight weeks," said Torre, meaning a return of September at the earliest. That's probably overly optimistic. Watkins performed a similar procedure in 2002 on Dodgers pitcher Kevin Brown , whose disc was badly ruptured. Brown rushed back after two months, but quickly had to shut it down because he was not fully healed. Reliever Eric Gagne underwent a similar operation by Watkins at St. Vincent's Hospital on July 8, 2006. Like Brown, Gagne was also trying to return from elbow woes at the time and did not pitch again that season. Like I mentioned the other day (link above), I'll believe it when I see it regarding recovery. Eight weeks is still a looooong time anyway and the odds that Furcal will be completely healthy by the beginning of September is possible but as soon as KB and EG's names get tossed around, I get a little skep ...
