SCOTT SIZEMORE'S INJURY REPORT DON'T LOOK GOOD

The Yankees signed Scott Sizemore to a minor league deal over the weekend. You can read about it HERE. Here’s the thing, it’s a minor league deal and it fills the void at third base with Alex Rodriguez suspended for 162 games if he comes up to the Bigs, which is most likely going to happen.

But look, this is an injury prone player and while this is a minor league deal, injury doesn’t discriminate.  And if you’ve aggravated a knee once… and it happens again… well, chances are pretty big that it will happen again, you know what I mean? Don’t know what I mean? Keep reading

Back in 2012, Scott Sizemore tore his ACL in his left knee.  When that happened, it caused him to miss the rest of the season.  Bummer right? Well, it gets worse.

He recovered from the injury in 2013 and he was ready to return, only to find out that in the beginning of the season, he re-tore that same ACL in his left knee.  He was then out for the rest of 2013 as well. Then, in November, he was outrighted by the Athletics.

Enter the Yankees, who signed this guy to a minor league deal, probably crossing their fingers that he doesn’t re-aggravate that left knee again.

Now, my question is simple;  We found out Alex Rodriguez was suspended, BYB gave a few options the Yankees could pursue, Michael Young, Mark Reynolds, all out there for the taking. Yet, we chose Sizemore. And the reason is… why?

Now, there is a very good chance Sizemore will be excellent for us.  After all, he’s 29 years old, but I’m not going to lie, I’m worried about that knee.  And if he goes down, but are we gonna do, just slide Eduardo Nunez over?

A lot of questions still, even with this signing.  As a fan, I’d rather have alittle security than uneasiness with new players.

Good luck Scott! I know what your thinking, but it’s not true… we’re NOT against you. We are worried though.  Good luck in pinstripes pal.
