No Longer Hurt
The Big Hurt is feeling no pain and will play today for the Oakland Athletics:
Goldman was pleased with the condition of Thomas' surgically repaired left foot. "Thank goodness," Goldman said. "Everything looks good."
Goldman said the A's have received a specially designed shoe with built-in shock absorbent cushion that will help lesson the pounding Thomas takes while he runs. Goldman said it's a basketball-type shoe with specially installed cleats.
So far the investment in Thomas is looking like money well spent for the Athletics.

How can you say "the investment in Thomas is looking like money well spent for the Athletics" when they haven't even played a game yet?
First of all, it's a small amount of money. Secondly, as he showed last year, if Thomas plays just a little bit he contributes. So far, it looks like he's going to be able to play. That's a big win for the Athletics.
I hope he has a monster season, and locks up his well-deserved place in the HOF. Go Big Hurt!
