Re: No Adalius for Jets ?
Pedroia was out almost 2 months. He broke the navicular bone (top of foot) and did not have surgery. Pedroia himself said he could be out a couple of weeks or 6 weeks.
We don't know how severe Pace's injury is. A helmet hit is foot. He had the pin put in. Could be 2 weeks. Could be longer. Who knows.
I do agree that with feet, being conservative is appropriate.
I don't buy the notion that the Sox FORCED him back. Their medical staff may suck (see Ellsbury), but I don't think that they gave him an ultimatum and pushed him hard to get back out on the field.
