Yes, it was originally reported as a torn labrum but later downgraded to a pelvic fracture, which is important because bones heal more predictably than soft tisse. Also note, he didn't miss *most of the year*; the injury took place in early August, a point at which he'd played 97 of the team's 107 games.
I just don't get it…Don't we have a bunch of catchers? Give the younger guys a chance…

I believe that it was afractured hip, not a torn labrum…
I stand corrected. Thanks for the updated info.

Well color me embarrassed. That's what I get for relying on the news of that day.
FIXED. Thanks again
so we signed a guy who needs surgery – after discovering it in the physical? I smell desperation here.
