Crawford Has Left Wrist Surgery

No one saw this coming. Carl Crawford underwent left wrist surgery yesterday & will miss the start of the regular season.

According to MLB, Crawford started ramping up his off-season workouts when he noticed the problem - pain in his left wrist. In consultation with Cherington, Valentine & the medical staff all decided it would be best for Crawford & the Sox to have corrective surgery now & get his wrist healthy.

After a poor year in 2011 Crawford was looking to bounce back in 2012. He still may, but both he & we will need to wait a bit. Perhaps Crawford's injury will make Ben more interested in finding another outfielder from outside the organization.
