The way the Cincinnati Reds are handling the injury to Devin Mesoraco is interesting to say the least. Personally, I’m wondering why Mesoraco is not having the surgery on his hip and why is he not on the 60-day disabled list.
The Reds said that they’re going to try to wait until the end of the season before they do the surgery. I have to ask, “why?” Catching is beyond Mesoraco at this point because of his hip injury, and his only use to the Reds is as a pinch hitter. Not that I don’t like to see Mesoraco hitting, but it’s hard to imagine that he’s at his best right now.
