Default Chase Utley leaves Phillies camp for Knee exam

Dont know what to think. Last year it was reported he was supposed to have some type of experimental surgery and miss the entire season so, who knows.
Hate this guy, out of respect. He's one tenacious SOB.

Phillies' Utley leaves camp to have knee examined - MLB - Sporting News

Years of playing 2nd base it's not surprising his body is starting to break down. I'm pretty sure second basemen are more prone to injury than any other position player. On top of that he's starting to enter his mid 30's so I guess it's expected. Too bad, he's really an all around player when healthy.

this might not be far off.

utley - done

they have been beating around this bush for too long, all through spring training and even now. philly knows what kind of draw this guy has to the ballpark (i go to about 10 home games a year and 80% of the women and 15% of the guys wear utley jerseys) no doubt they would string along the fans on the matter.

utley is gonna end up being the next john kruk.

Might be a good time to move some of the Freddy Galvis I've been saving.

Yep, history shows 2nd basemen break down sooner than other positions. Sucks, 'cause Utley was arguably the second best player in baseball in his prime.
