"How long will a torn chest muscle keep Vladimir Guerrero out of action? The Angels have said a month, but rumors are whirling that it could be much, much longer. "One Internet report (claims) the injury can knock out NFL offensive linemen for entire seasons" writes the LA Times beat writer Mike DiGiovanna (ESPN)."
The Angels are sticking with the story that he will be back in about a month, but I am not sure even if he does come back that the wild swinging Vlad will be any good. This injury is much more serious then they are reporting, and if really could take all the power out of his swing. Vlad is not a guy who is patient, and an injury like this could really take all the value of having him in your lineup up away. The Angels do not have really any option then trying to get him healthy ASAP, as the offense does not look too good without him on it. To make matters worse, Mike Scioscia has some serious problem with playing young hitters. He has given power hitting Brandon Wood little to no playing time (yes he is on my fantasy team), and if that continues I could see this being a very long season for the Angels.
