June 6, 200521 yr Clint Barmes is expected to miss at least three months with a broken clavicle, ESPN reports. Barmes was hurt carrying groceries last night. Desi Relaford will take over as the Rockies' primary shortstop, making Luis Gonzalez the everyday second baseman until Aaron Miles returns. The Rockies will probably call up Tim Olson to serve as a backup. Barmes' injury should help Miles and Garrett Atkins, as they will get to be everyday players without interference from Relaford. It will hurt Todd Helton, who now figures to get even fewer RBI chances. Jun. 6 - 4:26 pm et Those groceries are death traps.
June 6, 200521 yr Damn That's going on the All Time Baseball Injury list Redux edition 798217[/snapback] no argument there, I think this tops Griffey's inury of moving some boxes around, and Sosa's brutal sneeze
June 6, 200521 yr He was climbing stairs with groceries and fell. The reason he didn't take the elevator: It was taking too long to come down. Rockies season went from bad to worse because of an elevator.

June 7, 200521 yr It will most likely take more than 3 months... I broke my collarbone last year and it took 2 months without surgery... I feel his pain, he will be in hell for atleast 2-3 weeks
June 7, 200521 yr They might be better off without surgery. Eric Johnson and Terrell Owens both had broken clavicles. Johnson had surgery, Owens did not. Owens healed so well, and Johnson was not coming along so they rebroke Johnson's to let it heal like Owens'.
June 7, 200521 yr Charles Rogers... first he broke it, let it heal naturally, then broke it the next season and had surgery... supposedly surgery is suppose help since they insert a placeholder for the 2 bones... I know I didn't want to go through that.
June 7, 200521 yr expensive groceries. I hope he saved the coupon. What is it with Colorado and stairs. Didnt a QB fall down them a while back and get hurt?
June 7, 200521 yr That sucks for Clint. I liked watching him play.. So who does La Russa take from Colorado for the ASG? Brad Hawpe? Preson Wilson? Ugh.
