Graffanino out for the season

Add Tony Graffanino to the list of guys who are now out for the remainder of the season. He is about to have surgery to repair his right rotator cuff. He has also been nursing a torn ligament in his left knee recently.
Graffanino is under contract for next season and wants to undergo the surgery now so that he’ll be able to be 100% by spring training next season.

Ruben Gotay will be the starter at second base for the rest of the season. It’ll be fun to watch him.
Let’s hope that Graffanino is able to make a full recovery and come back strong for the 2005 season.
