Rocco Baldelli Misdiagnosed

Great news for Rocco Baldelli. A visit to the Cleveland clinic last week revealed that doctors had misdiagnosed his illness. Baldelli missed much of last season, and when he did play, he was limited because of extreme fatigue. Doctors thought it was mitochondrial disorder, which can be fatal. The Baldelli family told me tonight that the Cleveland clinic diagnosed his condition as channelopathy, a non-progressive, highly treatable disease.

If this is true, and it is very treatable

Then SIGN HIM!

Wow, hadn't seen this until now.

Good for him and his family, I’ve always really liked him and actually would be happy to see him spend some time on the south side.

Yeah

Him and Carl Crawford have always been favs of mine. Not sure why though. I would really love to have Rocco on the southside.

The cynic in me...

says that he has millions of reasons to shop around until he gets a good prognosis. You can find a doctor to tell you anything.

cleveland clinic is just the sort of fly by night operation i'd go to for that.

"They will surely make fewer home runs," Guillen said. "Defense players and worthy pitchers will likely take over the protagonist's role."

Ambulances r Us.

Cleveland. Fer Chrissakes.

I would rather douse a newspaper in gasoline, wrap it around my penis and light it on fire then relive that experience
