[GOBK]

그동안 아킬레스건 부상으로 3주동안 야구관련 훈련을 하지 않고 재활 치료중인

노마가 다음 주말부터 조깅을 시작하고, 경과가 좋으면 가벼운 타격연습을 시작한다고 합니다.  다음 주 수요일이 딱 3주가 되는 날인데, 팀 주치의인 모건박사는 5월초 노마가 돌아 오리라는 전망에 대해 그의 부상회복이 중요하기때문에 어떤 시한도 못박을 수 없고, 이 부상이 그에게 만성적인 증상이 되지 않도록 현재 하고있는 재활치료에 전념할 것 이라고 합니다.

마이애미 대학 척추센터에서 디스크 치료를 받고 있는 닉슨은 지난 주부터 마이애미 대학에서 타격연습을 했었고, 어떤 큰 이상도 없었다고 합니다. 그는 월요일날 척추센타에서 퇴원을 해서 포트 마이어스에 있는 확대스프링 캠프에서 몸을 만들게 됩니다.

놀라운 출루율로 팀에 활력을 불어 넣고 있는 2루수 벨혼이 어제 양키스전에서 8회 공에 맞아 팔꿈치 부상으로 오늘 라인업에선 크레스포로 대체. 일요일 현재 볼넷 15개로 메이저 1위에 올라있고 출루율은 5할을 기록중인 벨혼은, 노마가 돌아오면 수비는 훌륭하지만  타율과 출루율에서 뒤쳐지는 포키 리스와 2루자리를 놓고 경합을 벌이게 될 거 같습니다.

현재 팀에 가장 도움이 되는 일중의 하나가 매니의 맹활약인데, 그는 오늘 양키스와의 패전에서도 4타수 2안타 2타점을 기록했고, 현재 .431의 타율과 3홈런 10타점으로 팀선두를 기록. 닉슨과 노마가 빠진 타선의 나머지 몫까지도 하고 있는 매니에 대해 프랑코나 감독은 그는 정말 대단한 타자라고 칭찬. 그는 현재 11게임에서 모두 출루를 기록.

삭스는 브라이언 더박과 며칠전 트리플A에서 자리를 맞바꿈한 프랑코 카스틸로를 다시 트리플A 포터킷으로 보내고, 대신 Rule5 의 좌완인 레니 디날도를 포터킷에서 불러 올렸습니다. 카스틸로는 오늘 9회에 나와 1/3이닝동안 만루상황에서 A-Rod를 범타 처리.

디날도는 그동안 DL에 올라 있었고, 병현선수에 며칠 앞서 사라소타와 포터킷에서 재활등판해 좋은 결과를 보였습니다. Rule5 선수이기에 어느 시한까지 25인 로스터에 올리지 못하면, 다시 그의 원 구단인 메츠로 보내야만 합니다.

기존의 9명 투수외에 나머지 불펜투수는 모두 왼손투수인 말라스카,시벨, 디날도이고,  현재 12명의 투수 로스터중 엠브리까지 4명이 왼손투수임.

병현선수는 오늘 팬웨이 팍에서 팀훈련에 참가해 롱토스 훈련을 했고, 발표된 대로 월요일 (한국시간 화요일 새벽) 포터킷에서 선발등판하게 됩니다.

Notes: Nomar running to recovery

Jogging is next on Garciaparra"s list

BOSTON -- When it comes to Nomar Garciaparra"s recovery, the shortstop must run before he can think about playing.

So in what would certainly be a forward step in the star shortstop"s rehab from tendinitis in his right Achilles, Red Sox team doctor Bill Morgan said Sunday that the hope is that Garciaparra can begin jogging "toward the end of this week."

If Garciaparra can jog without discomfort, he will then ease back into baseball activities, such as batting practice and playing catch.

On March 31, the Red Sox announced that Garciaparra would not participate in any baseball activities for three weeks. Wednesday is the three-week anniversary of that date, meaning Garciaparra appears to be right on schedule, and could still be back in the Boston lineup by early May.

But Morgan reiterated that Garciparra"s symptoms will have a far bigger bearing on how quickly he returns to action than a calendar.

"At this point we"re not putting any timelines on it. It"s all based upon his symptoms," Morgan said. "As long as he"s making each hurdle, we"ll progress."

Garciaparra, who has been working out at multiple venues in the Boston area during his recovery, was at Fenway Park Sunday morning working out on an Elliptical Stepper.

"If he feels good tomorrow, we"ll go a little bit further," Morgan said. "If he does well with the Elliptical, then we"ll go with some jogging toward the end of this week. If he does well with that, we"ll go to some groundballs."

The key, according to Morgan, is to continue being conservative with Garciaparra"s treatment.

"We don"t want to take a step back. We don"t want this to become a chronic thing," Morgan said. "He just needs time. He"s already had all the other interventions. With this type of thing, you don"t want to get too aggressive. He"s getting therapy, he"s swimming. He"s doing all the rehab he can do. But we"re not doing foolish things."

Trot nears next step: Right fielder Trot Nixon is likely to check out of the University of Miami Spine Institute on Monday and report to the Red Sox Spring Training facility in Fort Myers, where he will crank up his volume of baseball drills.

Nixon starting taking batting practice at the University of Miami last week, and felt no setbacks from the mildly herniated disc that has kept him out of the lineup since the beginning of Spring Training.

"He did well with his rehab, we extended it a little bit just to make sure all his symptoms were resolved, and now he"ll start some baseball activities," Morgan said.

While Nixon is a little ahead of Garciaparra in terms of baseball drills, Morgan wouldn"t say which player will return first.

"I don"t want to put it as a race," said Morgan. "They"ll return when they"re ready. There"s no competition here. We want them back, and we want them to stay back. We"re hoping they"ll be back in great shape and without any hesitation of going backwards."

Bellhorn sore: Second baseman Mark Bellhorn was scratched from Sunday"s lineup as a result of being hit on the left elbow by a pitch in the eighth inning of Saturday"s game.

The Sox went with Cesar Crespo at second base.

"It swelled up pretty good," said Bellhorn. "I tried to go out there and swing and it didn"t really feel too good."

Bellhorn has been invaluable to the Sox early in the season, entering Sunday with a Major League-leading 15 walks. His on-base percentage is .500.

"That"s kind of the way I"ve always played and that"s my approach to the game," said Bellhorn, "at least my offensive approach. I don"t think I"ve ever got this many walks in this few games. That"s good for me, and good for the team."

Manny hot: Quietly, Manny Ramirez has broken out to a brilliant start, picking up slack left by Garciaparra and Nixon.

Ramirez represented one of the few bright spots for the Sox in Sunday"s 7-3 loss, going 2-for-4 to raise his average to .413. The Boston slugger has three homers and a team-leading 10 RBIs.

"He"s just an unbelievable hitter," said manager Terry Francona.

Ramirez has reached safely in all 11 games.

Byung-Hyun Kim checks in: Side-winding righty Byung-Hyun Kim -- battling back from shoulder inflammation -- played long toss at Fenway Park. He will pitch three innings for Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday.

Castillo outrighted: Veteran right-hander Frank Castillo was outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket following the game, paving the way for Rule 5 left-hander Lenny DiNardo to be activated prior to Monday"s game.

When DiNardo joins the roster, the Sox will have four lefties in their bullpen.

As for Castillo, he retired Alex Rodriguez with the bases loaded in the ninth inning of Sunday"s contest.

이 기회에 노마랑 장기계약 맺으면 구단은 많은 비용 지출하지 않고 노마 잡을 수 있을테고 노마로서는 자신의 부상을 구단이 더욱 성의껏 신경 쓸 테니 돈은 좀 덜 받더라도 계약 하지 않을까여.. 노마 진짜 좋은데 보스톤에 계속 있었음 좋겠다..
