Angels Official Website: Nelson's season in doubt following hamstring strain

[AngelsWin.com]

Chris Nelson suffered what Angels manager Mike Scioscia said was a "significant" right hamstring strain while running down the first-base line to end the top of the seventh inning on Wednesday, an injury that could sideline the third baseman for the last four and a half weeks of this season.

There has to be someone else who sucks out there somewhere.

Edgardo Alfonso on line 1!

Bring Figgy back.

Romine is gonna make us forget about Nelson.  Not sure if he'll do that by being much worse or by being marginally better, but either way Nelson is dust in the wind.

Longtime lurker. First time caller...

On September 1st we will have access to plenty of candidates, maybe not good ones but plenty who would like to give it a try.

If they don't look at Green at 3b now, it would mean that he is viewed strictly as a 2bman....

[YouthofToday]

I demand the return of Shea Hillenbrand.

[T.G.]

there just aren't a lot of really good 3B in the league...

I'd like the Angels to give the Braves ex #1 Prospect Andy Marte a try at 3B along with Luis Jimenez for the rest of the season.

Romine needs to learn how to hit before he makes me forget about anyone.

 

But then again, he can't be worse than Nelson, right?

It looks like Jimenez is going to be Nelson's replacement.

Season over

[ettin]

I haven't been watching as many of the games lately and I didn't realize how bad Nelson has been over the last 25 games or so. Too bad.

from the devil's advocate pov . . .

 

bring figgy back for the rest of the year. he was a fan favorite for a long time and it gives us a chance to say so long. realistically, a bale of hay at third would be about as effective as anyone else, and since there's nothing to lose, why not bring back the little guy for one last hurrah.
