Prince Fielder considering season-ending surgery

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

To repair his herniated disk. This injury has kept him out of the lineup for about a week. Has brought about incredible weakness in his arm.

Confirmed, prince out for season

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

And on top of that, Jurrickson Profar likely out for season with grade 2 arm strain.


Rangers have quite the luck this year.

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

And that injury was due to him "rolling over in bed"

 

[RipCity32]

Tigers realllllllllllllly lucked out with that trade.

Daniels went full on retard with that trade. Can't believe anyone would take on that contract.

I cant even hate Fielder any more.  Your wife cheats on you with a player who was on the roster for a large portion of the season, you try to play the season through with a neck injury, and then you get traded because your fans basically run you out of town.
 
Fielder isn't exactly a likable guy because of his nonchalant demeanor, but the past calendar year has not been great for him.  I kind of hope he recovers from this surgery and plays well again because I'm not heartless.

what's this rumor about his wife?

 

 
I led with this item on the last podcast, but after enough inquiring Google searches landing on this site in regards to the rumor; it’s time to bring into the open what I know (what I heard).
So at my real job – the one that has kept me barely blogging this winter – I am approached by a friend who played sports professionally. He’s got roots in the Detroit area and knows a lot of guys who know a lot of guys. He also knows I’m big into baseball and knows I run this site. He asks me if know how Miguel Cabrera really got re-injured last season. I tell him no. He tells me that he didn’t believe this rumor when he first heard it, but it was so interesting he decided to check it with a second person who would definitely know. He did, and they confirmed this. He then hits me with it:
Avasail Garcia was sleeping with Prince Fielder’s wife this past season.
When Miguel Cabrera and the team caught wind of what was going on, there was a clubhouse fight. Miggy was sticking up for Fielder and approached Avasail about it in the clubhouse. In this scuffle, Cabrera re-injures himself.
Team quickly trades Garcia in order to cut out the cyst in the clubhouse. And to separate him from Fielder’s wife of course.
Fielder was traded this offseason partially to go in a different direction and make sure that the chemistry wasn’t offset again this coming season. Translation: Fielder’s wife can screw whoever she wants. She’s the Rangers’ problem now.
I don’t care enough to look into it, but apparently Fielder said there was still sour grapes at least on his end for him being traded from the Tigers. He wasn’t completely over it and was bothered by it because he thinks it was for the wrong reasons.
If all this is true, it definitely adds up and possible sheds light on why Fielder was so lousy last season. I owned him in fantasy baseball, and he was albatross until the day I sold him for ten cents on the normal Fielder currency in fantasy.
And I guarantee this rumor is true. It’s out there in the Michigan area somehow. People don’t spread things this weird, at least not the people who spread it to me.
And this also makes us love and respect Miguel Cabrera even more. That guy really is a consummate leader. An every man’s man.

damn that really makes sense now.

talw still stands.

Yeah, the dude's been through plenty--that's for damn sure.
 
Can his weight be part of the problem with his herniated disc? I do not know how the initial injury occurred, but I've always wondered if his weight would ever come back to hurt him. Not that it matters to me as I'm neither a Tiger or Ranger fan, but though there examples of heavy set MLB players being successful, has anyone else ever wondered if it could affect those players, negatively?
 
Just a worthwhile question, imo. Keep in mind I don't mean to be critical of someone's weight as I'm not the most physically fit individual, either, but I have always wondered if weight could be a problem, even in baseball where it doesn't matter nearly as much as other sports.

Every time a guy struggles it's because a teammate is sleeping with his wife
