He's old, it happens.
True story. Neck spasms doesn't sound good though. Hopefully just slept on it wrong.

I noticed many Phillies fans at the time of the trade, thought they didn't get enough for the "future HOFer." Obvious with Thome's injury, this trade isn't looking so bad. I do think there's a good chance this trade will end up being a complete wash though.This isn't a team that should be giving up high-level, advanced talent for rental help. But two decent prospects years away for a Hall of Famer with gas in his tank, absolutely.

"Jim Thome (neck) will begin his rehab in Sarasota, Florida on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Thome said earlier this month that he wouldn't be able to do any baseball activities for 30 days, but he has evidently made solid progress after receiving an epidural injection for a herniated disk in his neck. The future Hall of Famer is still hopeful of rejoining the O's in September."

40-man rosters are awesome. I wish I could have seen Earl work with a huge roster of players at his disposal. His ability to use players skills while hiding deficiencies was legendary.

8/20 Baltimore Sun / Dan Connolly:

Actually kind of forgot about Thome.
If he can return, he'll be a solid bat to have in September. I'm not really sure how the at bats would shake out, though. It seems McLouth is going to stay out in LF and Manny has 3rd locked down. I suppose you could have Davis get some starts at 1B and sit Reynolds?

As has been mentioned, he'd be a great bat off the bench.

He is fine as the #3 hitter since Buck isn't putting Wieters there.I'm afraid that Buck is going to insert him back in the lineup in the cleanup role because of the "respect" factor. As long as were winning, I don't want to mess with a good thing. Wouldn't mind him so much lower in the lineup but I don't know if starting him everyday in the clean up role is the best thing going forward.

McLouth should be batting second.

Good news. We heard on Thursday that Thome was being "slowed down" by doctors, but Orioles manager Buck Showalter believes that the veteran slugger should be back later this month."

Jim Thome will take live BP on Wednesday, a significant step forward in his recovery from herniated disk. #Orioles

If he were to comeback at this point, is it safe to assume, he gets the clean-up spot back?Injury update:

#orioles cautiously optimistic Thome could rejoin team on road trip
Well, that would definitely be a shot in the arm...

I definitely can see him pinch hit late in a game, drawing a walk, then Avery comes in to pinch run.
