SCOTT ROLEN RUMORS & GOSSIP
Francisco named fantasy league 'sleeper'
Francisco is expected to push for more playing time
in 2012 behind veteran Scott Rolen
ESPN.com senior writer Eric Karabell recently published a post highlighting four players from the National League Central who he considers to be fantasy league "sleepers" for the upcoming season (you can read the entire piece here if you wish). Among the four relatively unknown players...

Is Scott Rolen finished?
Rolen says no:
“I’m not shutting it down,” he said. “But we are running out of time.”
Rolen, on disabled list recovering from Aug. 3 surgery on his left shoulder, has not taken batting practice since Aug. 31 when he admittedly overdid it.
I don’t know what to make of Rolen. It’s pretty clear that he’ll never be the hitter he once was, and that’s...

Scott Rolen Has More Shoulder Surgery
The Cincinnati Reds announced today that their 3rd baseman Scott Rolen had arthroscopic shoulder surgery and will be out an additional 4-6 weeks. Rolen has been on the disabled list since July 22.
Cincinnati Enquirer beat reporter John Fay writes about the procedure.
The procedure was just to clean it up. Four to six weeks, which is projected to be out, still takes you to early to...

Reds' Rolen has little motion with left shoulder
Scott Rolen can't lift his left shoulder very far, an ominous sign for a struggling Cincinnati Reds team that needs him in the lineup.
The third baseman went on the disabled list Friday with inflammation in his left shoulder and the left side of his neck. The problem bothered him in the second half of last season, and has landed him on the disabled list twice this year.

Catching Up on Reds Transactions
There’ve been a few moves that the Cincinnati Reds have made in the last two days that it feels like I haven’t had enough time to comment on.
First, before yesterday’s amazing baseball game, the Reds decided Scott Rolen was ready and activated him from the disabled list. Backup infielder Chris Valaika was optioned to AAA to the Louisville Bats to make room. Clearly...

Scott Rolen May Miss Weekend Series
Per Mark Sheldon, Scott Rolen may miss the entire weekend series against the Cardinals with left shoulder pain. It is the same shoulder that he had surgically repaired while missing most of the 2005 season.
Rolen saw medical director Dr. Tim Kremchek Thursday morning had his shoulder X-rayed. He was given two injections to try and relieve the pain. An MRI on his neck showed no issues...

Reds at bat music (if I were in charge)
A new season means new at-bat music for many of the player on the Cincinnati Reds (except Scott Rolen, who’s been walking up to that same Coldplay song since 2008). There’s a list of the songs each of the players requests here, but this is more a grab bag of songs I’ve mostly never heard of instead of the songs that actually come to my mind when the player comes...

Is Scott Rolen Famous Enough For Cooperstown?
Among many fun conversations I had while in Arizona last week, perhaps the most interesting involved a topic I’d been thinking about for a while – Scott Rolen‘s chances of getting elected to the Hall Of Fame. Rolen’s 12th on the list of career WAR by third baseman with +71.6, and that kind of total is generally good enough to get you elected. Given that he...

How Valuable Is…Scott Rolen?
Okay, time for another community discussion: How valuable is Scott Rolen. The veteran third baseman had a brilliant half-season, followed up by a couple of months (and a miserable post-season) in which Rolen showed his age.
What is the Nation’s collective wisdom regarding Scotty? Is he overrated, underrated, or just rated? What is his future with the Reds, and what should his future...
