Thomas update from JLac

this is way way too far ahead, but if we manage to make the playoffs...imagine what a huge boost it would be to get thomas and janson back?
Jansen is on IR. Can't play again this season by rule.

I hope he comes back too. But can we afford to keep his roster spot open for a chance that he can play in 10 to 12 weeks?

I think we can afford to do it right now. Each week will require us to evaluate if we still can keep him on the active. If we are blessed with more health than in past years then it is conceivable to keep him on the active for 7 or 8 weeks and then see where he is at and whether it is even possible for him to play by seasons end. If that cast comes off and he can bulk that arm up at a good pace for the following 6 weeks then he can play. It is worth trying for right now.

From the Post:

Randy is obviously groggy after 7:30 surgery this morning and he is moving slowly, as expected, but was smiling more than he had been the last few days.



I'm willing to bet that part of that is because hes on painkillers. Personally I'm surprised that he gets to leave the hospital on the same day as surgery. Everytime I get surgery I have the pleasure of staying 23.5 hours at the hospital.

man, that guy seems to have a pretty good attitude for just losing a season, again.

How many times have you had surgery?

I've never been operated on but I have taken loads of painkillers and I have to say that Randy did look a little bit medicated.

He did look and sound slightly buzzed! But was ready for Dinner #1 AND Dinner #2!

Go Randy, get welll soon.....so your ready just in time for our BIG PLAYOFF RUN AT THE BIG GAME!

How many times have you had surgery?

I've had surgery seven times throughout my life, three of them since May 2006 (I've had some problems with my nose). For two of those surgeries I was sent home with percocet. The other one they sent me home with darbocet (spelling?).

Thats why I assumed that Randy was on painkillers. Usually when you're that happy after being in the hospital it can be attributed to painkillers.
