oldschooler Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 [size=6][b] Still no timetable for Joey Votto's return[/b][/size] By Matt Snyder | Senior Baseball Blogger August 14, 2012 5:33 pm ET After a second injury to his knee required another minor surgery last Thursday, [url="http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/page/CIN/cincinnati-reds"]Reds[/url] first baseman Joey Votto remains sidelined. And he'll stay there until he's 100 percent. “I'm not going to come back until I can do everything as a ballplayer,” he said ([url="http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/2012/08/14/votto-wont-return-until-hes-100-percent/"]cincinnati.com[/url]). “I'm not comfortable coming back and not being able to play defense or break up a double play. I'm responsible for myself once I step on the field. If I can't take a guy out and it costs us a run, that's something I'd have a hard time looking at teammates in the eyes. I'm accountable for myself as a player. When I come back, I will be.” Votto originally injured himself sliding back before the All-Star break. He was practicing sliding last week when he again injured his knee. He won't attempt a slide again until he's fully healed, and there's no date he or the Reds have in mind for a return. So the best way to put this is that Votto is out indefinitely. The three-time All-Star and 2010 NL MVP was on his way to another possible MVP season when the knee injury derailed him. He's hitting .342/.465/.604 with 14 homers, 49 RBI, 52 runs and 36 doubles in 86 games. Votto hasn't played since July 15, and the Reds caught fire without him. They are 19-8 since then and have a five-game lead in the NL Central entering Tuesday night.

One most staffs have trouble dealing with. I don't know how we did it, but somehow we have a starting crew with top of the league numbers who play half their games in one of the biggest launching pads in baseball..

oldschooler Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 [b] [size=6]Though not pain free, Votto resumes field work[/size][/b] CINCINNATI -- Once again, injured Reds first baseman Joey Votto resumed baseball activity as he tries to work his way back from left knee surgery. Votto played catch on Saturday and on Sunday morning, he took a round of ground balls at first base from third-base coach Mark Berry. After that, he ran on the field under the supervision of strength coach Matt Krause. It was Votto's first field work since he had a second minor operation to remove cartilage from his knee on Aug. 10. With the resumption of baseball activity, Votto hoped the process of getting back to the lineup would accelerate. "I anticipate so," Votto said before going on the field. "I'm healing every day and I'm able to do different things. But it's going to take its time, whenever it's ready." There is still some pain in Votto's knee. "Sure, there's pain. I just had a second surgery roughly a week ago," Votto said. Votto, 28, has been out of the Reds' lineup since July 16 because of torn meniscus cartilage, which was repaired the following day. He was close to being ready to return when he re-injured the knee while doing sliding drills. When the Reds begin a short four-game road trip at Philadelphia on Monday, Votto will not be with the club. "I know he hates not going, because even at Spring Training, he mentioned to me about beating Philly," said Reds manager Dusty Baker, who met privately with Votto for about 10 minutes Sunday morning. "That's probably been our toughest spot to play in the last couple of years -- or them, period." http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120819&content_id=36967686¬ebook_id=36969406&vkey=notebook_cin&c_id=cin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 With an 8 plus game lead, I'm betting they hold Joey out till September 1st. That would then make it so they didnt have to cut Cairo or Paul or anyone. One of them obviously wouldnt make the post season roster, but they still wouldnt get cut per se.
