Lidge out 3 to 6 weeks

Found February 24, 2008 on All Things Philly Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Tom Gordon,  Brett Myers,  Brad Lidge
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies

Lidge
We can all exhale now. Following knee surgery, Brad Lidge will be out 3 to 6 weeks, meaning he might still be ready for opening day. The Phillies should still have a back-up plan ready, just in case Lidge takes a few weeks to get his velocity back. Tom Gordon will do as a temporary replacement, but like I said yesterday, if it's any longer than a few weeks, we won't be able to count on Flash.
