Brandon Moss to be Ready for Spring Training

Pirates.com reports:

Moss traveled to Vail, Colo., late last week, expecting to undergo a microfracture procedure. An end-of-the-season MRI had revealed cartilage being separated from the bones in his left knee, and both Dr. Patrick DeMeo in Pittsburgh and Dr. Richard Steadman in Vail agreed that a microfracture procedure would be the best course of action.

Such a procedure typically requires two months of rest, followed by four to six months of rehabilitation.

On Friday, however, Steadman did a diagnostic scope on Moss' knee and reported back to the Pirates that he felt arthroscopy was the best course of action at this time. A scope involves a much smaller incision than open surgery and involves a much shorter recovery time.

Moss' previous timetable had him coming back in 4-6 months, which meant he would have had trouble getting back in time for Spring Training. This sounds like it's going to be substantially quicker. Good news.

CHARLIE PLEASE STOP!!!! U STINK

   CHARLIE,

I HAVE JUST RECENTLY STARTED CHECKING OUT WHAT GARBAGE YOU ARE WRITING ON HERE. YOU MIGHT HAVE THE WORST EYE FOR TALENT THAT HAS EVER TRIED TO WRITE A PIECE. YOU ARE TOTAL GARBAGE BUDDY. I ALSO WANTED TO ASK YOU HOW YOU CAME UP WITH YOUR EVALUATION OF NYJER MORGAN. YOU ARE SO FAR OFF BASE THAT YOU ACTUALLY SOUND REALLY DUMB. ALL THE NUMBERS AND COACHES AROUND THE LEAGUE WILL SAY EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. I ESPECIALLY LIKE HOW YOU SAID THAT PLAYERS OF NYJERS SKILL SET JUST DONT MAKE SUCCESSFUL BIG LEAGUERS. GOD YOU SAID IT ALL THERE YOU SOUND SO STUPID THAT I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU EVEN TURN ON YOUR COMPUTER. WHAT A RIOT MAN!!! YOU MUST BE THE DUMBEST PERSON TO EVER TRY AND DISSECT A BALLPLAYER. MORGAN IS GOING TO PROVE YOU SO WRONG THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO QUIT WRITING BLOGS AND GO BACK TO BEING A FOOD CRITIC. THAT WAS WHAT I HEARD YOU DO FOR MONEY SINCE YOU HAVEN’T FOUND ANYONE THAT THINKS YOU EVEN HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE ABOUT BASEBALL. I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BECOME AN EYE FOR TALENT BUT ITS NOT WORKING. YOU ARE HORRIBLE, AND YOUR WRITINGS ARE EVEN WORSE. ITS FUNNY THAT SOMEONE ACTUALLY STARTED A BLOG ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO MAKING FUN OF YOU AND YOUR ABSURD COMMENTS. JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THATS WHERE I HEARD ABOUT YOU FROM. YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT IT STATES THAT OVER 3/4 OF STATISTICS THAT YOU HAVE PRODUCED IN YOUR WRITINGS ARE FACTUALLY WRONG. IT WOULD BE ONE THING IF YOUR OPINIONS WERE THE ONLY THING SHODDY AND UNTRUE. BUT THAT’S NOT THE CASE EVEN YOUR STATS THAT YOU HAVE GENERATED ARE MOSTLY FALSE. GET A CLUE, AND THEN GET A LIFE AND STOP TELLING SO MANY LIES. IT IS TO EASY TO FIND THE TRUTH. IT MUST BE TOUGH BEING SUCH A HATER.

Yeah.

You make real valid points. I’ve totally changed my mind. Charlie is a boob, AND YOU MAKE REALLY A REALLY CONVINCING ARGUMENT BACKED UP BY STATISTICS THAT MAKE LOTS OF SENSE AND ARE NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK IN ANY WAY BUT ARE VERY WELL EMPHASIZED BY USING ALL CAPS.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. -- HST

Dude

I happen to disagree with Charlie slightly on Morgan’s potential career path, but you are an idiot.

Dear STATDADDY,

You are quite the wordsmith. Surely Charlie’s hands are shaking too much to respond.

Good day.
