Inside the Colorado Rockies " Reynolds Undergoes Surgery

Greg Reynolds, who didn’t pitch in 2009 following one April appearance for Triple-A Colorado Springs, underwent exploratory arthroscopic surgery Wednesday Oct. 28 on his ailing right scapula.

At least he isn't Matt Bush?

He was so nice when I talked to him at the Sky Sox game

that it changed my mind on him. I wasn’t a big fan of his before then, but now I am rooting for him. He thought he would be ready for ST, but it just seems to get worse for him. I’m hoping he gets healthy real soon.

Rox, please start playing with heart! Let's finish this thing off!

I think most of us are rooting for him

but kind of being pragmatic/realists which in this case appears pessimistic.

man, he was just straight up solid in AAA.

A healthy Greg Reynolds in 2011 and 2012

Might be like getting a bonus 1st round pick. The guy DOES have potential and, luckily, there is time to realise it.

by biondino on Oct 30, 2009 10:14 AM MDT reply actions   0 recs

1st round might be stretching it

and it’s not as if he hasn’t used any option years or anything.

I don’t think his potential is anywhere near where it was.

Everything about Greg Reynolds confuses me

Are his struggles due entirly to shoulder problems and if so what is going on? Is this the same scapula thing over and over or is it a bunch of littel things that led to his demise? How many surgeries has he had? And my biggest question of all; if he has been sidelined since April 9th with shoulder discomfort why the hell did the Rockies wait until now for him to have surgery? Were they looking into to this in say April, May, June, July, August or September?

Sorry if any of these questions are ignorant but the whole situation confuses me.

I'm still hoping to wake up from that nightmare I had about the 9th inning of Game 4.

by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Oct 30, 2009 10:48 AM MDT reply actions   0 recs

This is just arthoscopic surgery to clear up some scar tissue that has grown

not what you would call a major surgery, or even anything that would really set him back.

DS9 isn't Star Trek in that case

it’s a show that isn’t about dancing around the universe looking at new planets and violating the Prime Directive. It’s more of a political…thriller?

It's not jut the Dominion War, tho

In my opinion, DS9 has some of the best character development and most of it happens after season 3. It’s definitely not “traditional” Star Trek, no, but because of the fantastic characters I still count it :)

The only negative about after season 3 is that the religion thing does get a little hokey, but Dukat is one of the most awesomest villains the show’s ever had.

Just because you have a female captain

and a hologram doctor doesn’t mean your show is “progressive” or “good”

I love the concept, but the show was not good.

by Muzia on Oct 30, 2009 3:32 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

ok, what about it was not good

I enjoyed the “new life and new civilizations” in the Delta Quadrant, I thought it added spark to the show. Also teaming with the Maquis and stuff. I thought that was all good.

Like I said, I love the concept

But the acting, characters, writing were all pretty bad. Who is really likable on the crew? There isn’t anyone who you are drawn to like a Spock, McCoy, Odo, Data, Picard. Not a one.

by Muzia on Oct 30, 2009 3:39 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

I enjoyed Paris and Kim's friendship

holodeck adventures, such and such. The Doctor was likable, at least IMO, and Tuvok was at least somewhat entertaining. Well as far as Vulcans go.

I give you Paris and the Doctor

I did not like Tuvok, he seemed like a token Vulcan to me. It’s Star Trek, we NEED a Vulcan on the crew

by Muzia on Oct 30, 2009 3:42 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah he was a bit token, I'll concede that

Neelix added some well intentioned flavor

The whole Seven of Nine thing kind of took the Hugh story from TNG and expanded it over several seasons.

Voyager was unwatchable

TNG was teh awesomeness, as was DS9 (though I missed the final couple of seasons, sadly).

I saw the first 4-5 episodes of Voyager, and couldn’t get over how tired the franchise seemed to be by that point.

Hey what do you guys think about Melvin Mora?

Definitely a declining bat, but if there isn’t a starting job for him, he’s a RH bench bat who can play the corners and might find some dying pop to his bat here in Colorado.

by RockiesMagicNumber on Oct 30, 2009 2:49 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

Bad idea, imho

He’s carrying a major chip on his shoulder about the O’s deciding months ago to not pick up the option. And his numbers just sorta reek of possible “early ought’s” PED use. Which isn’t to say we shouldn’t sign a former user on moral grounds…just that, with him in his decline phase, and his decline from a possible unnatural high point, the decline could actually be faster and deeper than thought.

Kinda like the last year or so of Sammy Sosa before he took those two years off.

I guess I can be convinced otherwise, but I don’t think he’s the guy.
