When do you call it quits on a player? I really don't know, my rule of thumb is if they get hurt in three consecutive seasons get his ass out of there. But teams all over are constantly relying on guys who are clearly year after year injury problems. The Indians just got word that Grady Sizemore most likely won't return until September, if he returns at all. He has been out since July 18th and this marks the third straight year that Grady has missed significant time. He hasn't played in 100 games since 2009 and even then it was only 106 games. The A's hung on to Eric Chavez for four years when it was clear he was just too hurt to play. The Yanks signed him this year and what do you know...he got hurt again. He's only played in 27 games. The Rockets with Yao was fucking ridiculous, people 7'6'' tall are meant to be sideshow freaks not NBA centers. And the Trailblazers are doing it with Greg Oden. So the rule of thumb has to be three years and you're out. So if I'm Cleveland I'm looking to get Grady healthy in the off-season show him off in spring training and try to get atleast 60 cents on the dollar for him.
