I'm calling a split as much as I'd like to suggest 3/4 I think we will be lucky to get 2 out of 4.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "Carlos Santana and the Indians were made for each other. Rebuilding as they are, few teams could better afford to hit a rookie catcher in the middle of the lineup while he learned the big-league life. Santana's lessons will have to wait until next year. He'll undergo season-ending surgery on his left knee Friday at Cleveland Clinic to repair a strained lateral collateral ligament in his left knee. Indians head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff said Santana's recovery time will be four to six months. Dr. Rick Parker will perform the operation. The switch-hitting Santana was injured in a collision at the plate with Boston left fielder Ryan Kalish in the seventh inning Monday night at Fenway Park. "Carlos is expected to make a full recovery by the beginning of the 2011 [regular] season," Soloff said. Soloff said this is not reconstructive surgery, which usually requires six months to a year of recovery time, because most of the damage to Santana's knee appears to be outside the knee. When an athlete suffers a torn anterior cruciate ligament or a posterior cruciate ligament, those injuries take place inside the knee. Santana's surgery does not require a ligament from a different part of his body to be added to the injured area. The LCL in Santana's left knee is strained (torn), but Soloff said it should be able to be repaired with existing ligament. He said the surgery is necessary to stabilize the "lateral, or outside aspect, of his left knee." Santana was hitting .260 (39-for-150) with 23 runs, 13 doubles, six homers and 22 RBI in 46 games with the Indians. He started the year at Class AAA Columbus and hit .316 (62-for-196) with 14 doubles, 13 homers and 51 RBI." - newsreporter3 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103603704716&s=3298&e=001PpUq39zEzOn59jM2 WtEutDCsHGe-oO9AmKSa1ylzfze5F_Wignnu9GohhnooG0625rZbNBgt0HIUgfNLsnkqMWv_ todpLUXpZmGnwOTsrnGHeavgIYrXwLvmOpDqaZdNzVJCxbneK2Eo7q9W1Ao94HlIZYF2bnYf > ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ray Salemi Sent: Friday, August 06, 2010 11:12 AM To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] Subject: Santana will need surgery So it looks like he got more than a sprain: Cleveland Indians catcher Carlos Santana <http://prlb.baseball.cbssports.com/players/playerpage/1208743/carlos-sa ntana> is set to have surgery Friday on his injured left knee and will miss the rest of the season.

The Indians said that the recovery time is four to six months and that Santana is expected to be ready for the 2011 season. "This is a rare baseball operation," Cleveland trainer Lonnie Soloff said. "It certainly could have been much worse, but we feel that we are fortunate with the limits of the injuries that were sustained. Any surgery on a catcher has to be approached thoughtfully and seriously." You just hate to see a leg bend like that. -- Author of "FPGA Simulation: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide" <http://www.fpgasimulation.com> www.fpgasimulation.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
