NIGHT STALKER Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 By Tim Dierkes [December 16, 2008 at 11:36pm CST] Great news for Rocco Baldelli. A visit to the Cleveland Clinic last week revealed that doctors had misdiagnosed his illness. Baldelli missed much of last season, and when he did play, he was limited because of extreme fatigue. Doctors thought it was mitochondrial disorder, which can be fatal. The Baldelli family told me tonight that the Cleveland Clinic diagnosed his condition as channelopathy, a non-progressive, highly treatable disease.

Arsis Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 That is good to hear. I remember Baldielli being pretty good a few years ago and then just vanishing. If he can get healthy some team is gonna get a player for cheap this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Would love to see the Yanks give him an incentive loaded contract based on games played. BTW, did he leave with a staph infection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I remember when he was a very impressive rookie. I hope he makes it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
