Guzman Out For The Year

[love_that_reefer]

Cristian Guzman underwent season-ending surgery Monday to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb. He wasn't hurt enough to leave the game Sunday, but now he's done for the year. The Nationals will likely go with Felipe Lopez at short the rest of the way. Ronnie Belliard will play second base, but he remains a candidate to be traded and the Nats may look to bring someone younger in. D'Angelo Jimenez is expected to take over as the top backup.

He was basically getting paid to do nothing anyway so nothing changes. I like Lopez and Belliard out there anyways.

Well that sucks. Now we're not going to get a prospect for his surprsingly decent performance.

Wow and Guzman was hitting very well this season.
