I was Assistant GM for the Erie (Pa.) Sailors, a member of the short-season New York-Penn League, from 1988-91. You can listen live or via podcast, I'm told. in a show that will also include Tyler Blexzinski from Athletics Nation and former All-Star Will Clark. I am scheduled to talk about the National League West today on AOL Sports Bloggers Live at 9:05 a.m. I love George Lederer's leads (or ledes, if you must). Twenty-four hours ago, 32 and 53 equalled 86 "Outsville," as the saying goes. "There is no sense in negotiating further."Ī day later, Koufax and Drysdale returned. It fell with the impact of an iron curtain with the announcement from Dodger general manager, Buzzie Bavasi: The baseball curtains fell on them and the Dodgers Tuesday night. There's no business like show business left for Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale. Forty years ago today, the Dodgers ceased negotiations.

In the latest from his periodic series of highlights from his father's long sportswriting career, Rich Lederer of Baseball Analysts gives us the end of the famous Sandy Koufax/Don Drysdale holdout. Henson also noted that minor league pitcher Kurt Ainsworth will need surgery that will sideline him until August or later. (So what is the more surprising contract decision from Wednesday: the Dodgers extending Kent, or American Idol extending Paula Abdul?) However, the Dodgers have no short-term or long-range plans to move him. General Manager Ned Colletti said Kent is "crystal clear" about perhaps moving to first base eventually. This is definitely a major concern for the Dodgers. Back injuries are perhaps the most unpredictable injuries to baseball players.
Furcal's pain tolerance and response to treatment will determine when he returns, though this is definitely an injury that will need to be watched and managed for the rest of the year, and beyond that, for the rest of his career. Called an "annular strain," the injury is minor, unpredictable, and the first sign of degenerative disc disease. Whether his gait changed or he rushed back, he's now dealing with a disc problem in his lower back. Rafael Furcal has been rehabbing from "minor" knee surgery and was behind schedule. Update: From Will Carroll at Baseball Prospectus:Įverything's connected. Jackson added that having played in Wednesday's exhibition, Dioner Navarro is on track to be on the active roster, despite this other Jackson article indicating otherwise. Jackson indicates that the Dodgers don't know when Furcal will play again - it could be as soon as two days, or he could go on the disabled list.
An MRI on Dodger shortstop and leadoff hitter Rafael Furcal revealed an "anular strain," according to Tony Jackson of the Daily News.
