Benson to Rehab

In a daring display of guts, heart and determination, Kris Benson decided to rehabilitate his torn rotator cuff and try to pitch in 2007:

Dr. James Andrews examined Benson's shoulder yesterday in Birmingham, Ala. It was the third opinion sought by the Orioles' pitcher. A member of the New York Mets' medical staff recently recommended that Benson have surgery, but Andrews provided a small glimmer of hope.

If the rehab doesn't change the condition of Benson's shoulder, he will have the surgery and most likely miss the season. Waiting a few more weeks wouldn't delay his return.

This seems like a risky move to me, in that he might make the injury even worse.
