Is Kendry(s) Morales Ever Coming Back?
Anyone remember Kendry(s) Morales? He used to have no "S" at the end of his first name, wore jersey #19 and yielded MVP votes. Now he is listed as jersey #8, played Wheel of Fortune with his first name and is taking a trip to Colorado to get a second opinion on his unhealing foot. Yep, he was supposed to be ready for Spring Training and now he is visiting a foot specialist for different advice. Great. Just great! His bobblehead doll is going to be given out at the stadium on May 24th but there is no chance he will be back on the field by then.
According to Craig Calcaterra...
So I checked this dude out, he does not have a FaceBook page, but he does have some real square looking webpage with an essay written in the first-person. He looks and sounds pretty doctorish. Wait...Morales will travel to Vail, Colorado early this week to get a second opinion from foot and ankle specialist Dr. Thomas Clanton.
Personally, I work to develop a partnership with my patients. On my part, this begins with listening. And one of the most important things I need to know is how the physical problem affects the patient's life.
It is affecting his life because the dude wants a piece of jewelry that doesn't come around by simply sitting around. Are you listening? Tommy can you hear me? Fix his foot DAMMIT, don't become his fishing buddy. Jeez, what is in the water up there in Vail, Colorado...
Anyway, It is time to ask the question: Will Kendry(s) Morales play for the Angels again this season? My answer is NO. But you can bet against me. First correct guess of the exact game date that Kendrys makes a recorded plate appearance in an Angels uniform in an Angels game this season wins $20. You gotta guess the game date and you gotta be the first to pick that game in the thread and your guess has to be recorded as a comment here. One guess per poster. Go for it.

June 3 / First game vs, the Yanks at home
I wanted July 15th right after the All-Star break, but I’ll try thinking more optimistically.
That’s almost 4 weeks.
Interesting side bet
Will Kendrys Morales or Mike Trout appear in a game for the Angels first?
Mire el pollo grande! Mire el pollo grande!
Hmm
I think Trout has a shot of coming up for a cuppa coffee in Sept. This wrinkle with Mr. Morales makes it a bit gloomier for his return. I would say ST 2012.

"Stay loyal to the Angels. As for me, I'm jumping on the Nationals bandwagon, later." -Daniel Sirca
He'll be back July 8th
Then, while emerging from the dugout, he’ll be hit in the eye by an errant paper airplane, causing him to lose his balance. As he falls back into the dugout, he steps on Mathis’ mitt lying on the bottom step and SNAP goes the other ankle.
the horror ............... the horror .......... the horror
Ok, so he probably won't be back (this season), but ...
if I have to pick, I say May 29th. Doc says ‘there is nothing wrong with your foot Kendrys, it is all in your head, now go run already,’ and he does.
In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.

June 5
I was going to pick June 3 or June 4 since I will be at those games, but I guess June 5 will have to do. Anyway, any date in early June is unrealistic so it doesn’t matter. The best we can probably hope for at this point is to have him back healthy by the All-Star break.
he is done as an angel.
look at drew hill, same type of injury, and he was traded to orl. for ben wallace and he was never the same player again. he had at least three more surgeries over the length of his time there and only played in his last season with any consistency.this was about a 5yr trade debacle for the magic, and we just gave kendry(s) a huge contract so we are going to eat that decision every year until we find someone to unload him to. hope i’m wrong, but looking at the similarities of the injuries. i think we made a costly mistake.

…and we just gave kendry(s) a huge contract so we are going to eat that decision every year until we find someone to unload him to.
He’s on a 1-year/$2.97M arbitration contract. Pretty inconsequential considering other uses of cash on this team.
Textbook example of why players are sometimes motivated to sign multi-year extensions in arbitration (and why FOs are sometimes are hesitant to offer them).

Do you mean Grant Hill?
Who is still playing in the NBA and quite suscessfully, I might add:
Today Hill does not tape the ankle and does not protect it with a brace, and on summer days he does not even cover it with a sock. He appreciates when people do not mention it, because he is no longer Grant Hill with the bad ankle but simply Grant Hill with the Phoenix Suns, and he has been for some time.

yes i am talking about grant hill
sorry i got lost in the hills. you are correct, it is grant, and yes he is healthy and fully recovered. i mention it because it did take 5yrs. and more than 2 surgeries to mend. all of which orlando footed the bill. no pun intended. my point is this may not be a quick fix, and as long as they have an adequate replacement, they should give him all the time he needs to fully recover.

yep

I realize that your point was that he won’t be in Angels uniform again, not that he won’t play again. Hopefully for him and us, that can be avoided. I do remember hearing that Grant Hill may have been mis-diagnosed and probably could have come back sooner. Maybe more opinions is a good idea…

ok i'll play along
let’s see, he is going to specialist in co., so if there is no surgery, and he just needs therapy. were looking at 60 days for that, so now were in july after which a rehab assignment which can take at least 30 days. and now that takes us up to august. and then if all goes well, getting major league ready in salt lake another 30 days, and that would make it around sept. 20, 2011. that is my pick if everything is fine with the ankle. and if he needs surgery well,…

first angel game
i was 9 or 10, it was mother’s day. my mom took my older brother and i to a baseball/disneyland fun day. i guess she paid one price for the game and tickets to the park afterwards. and we didn’t need the old ticket book for this, all the rides were included. anyway the angels were facing the twins, and i know the twins won but watching jim fregosi make a diving barehanded catch on a line drive between 3rd and short was all it took for me to instantly love this game. and also made me a lifelong, suffering through the crappy teams; angel fan. we even lived down the street from nolan ryan off romneya dr., when he first arrived. never saw much of him, but all the kids in the neighboorhood knew he lived there. my mom was on the first base dugout in 86 when gene mauch sealed our fate against boston. and i remember being satisfied with losing to the giants in 02, until erstie hit one out and the they never looked back. this is the best team in baseball, not because they won so many, or had so many great players. but because they always fought back, they were always the perennial underdog. and who doesn’t like underdogs. well except for simon bar sinister.
