Admin Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 He'll miss about a week of spring training probably they said on FSN. Left pinky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSwift25 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 the fact that it's on his throwing hand makes the recovery time faster. A break on the glove hand takes forever to heal, but on the throwing hand, it's a week, usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBMarlin Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 It didn't look pretty when it happened in the 1st inning. JP was in quite a bit of pain. I'm relieved to hear it wasn't more serious. A broken finger could have been 4-6 weeks. JP always carries his gloves in his hand to help keep them shut. So not sure exactly how it happened. He was sliding towards the outside of the bag and it looked like Velazquez was blocking it with his leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skully Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 the fact that it's on his throwing hand makes the recovery time faster. A break on the glove hand takes forever to heal, but on the throwing hand, it's a week, usually. It actually isn't on his throwing hand. It happened on his right hand, which is his glove hand.

83Gator Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 That article says he's going to a hand specialist on Monday and if there is ligament damage, he could be out six weeks. This could be bad. We don't have a backup CF and Cordero doesn't help us like he can at 1B, 3B, LF, and RF (with some juggling). An injury to Pierre would mean Nunez, Gerald Williams, or Rios would be the regular CF for the first month of the season. April is tough enough with all the road games; I'd hate to go through it without Pierre. I'll feel better when Pierre gets back from the hand specialist.

Izzie Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Damn, just what we need. Well I wish his left pinky a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshFish Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 What a scary moment. Thanks for sharing the latest info 83Gator. I hope JP gets back soon, and there insn't anything serious about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossInfoMan Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I think this shows that Nunez will make the team. Regardless if JP is back by opening day, you need to have someone who can at least play center beside him. Last year, we had Envcarnacion who could play center. Nunez has been better than Williams or Rios, who also play center, so I think Nunez will make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 These reports are a bit confusing though. When they found out it was just a dislocation during today's broadcast; Len, Tommy, and Craig seemed relieved it was just that. I don't know how well Len and Craig can determine how serious an injury is, but if Tommy Hutton isn't too worried, then neither am I.

fanofthefish Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 We'll just have to hold our breath until tomorrow's visit with the specialist. He looked like he was in some pain and wasted little time getting off the field to get to the clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bman8316 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Yeah he looked like he was in alot of pain and when the trainer grabbed his hand, it looked like his hand was shaking. I just hope he dosent try and push it too much the rest of spring, so that he could be ready to go for opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geemoney Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Dislocatioins hurt, i remember when Ike Auston badly dislocated his finger n looked like he was crying. I dislocated my middle finger in my junior year of HS baseball and it didn't hurt at all. Just a little uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Ok, ppl don't get carried away its only dislocated. Omg, but i was so worried when it happened, i could not even imagine the marlins playing without JP. He is waaaay toooooo valuable for us. But he's gonna be ok, only a few weeks don't worry!!!! Go JP
