Title: Chipper Jones to have knee surgery Post by: 2Stater on March 24, 2012, 05:23:22 PM http://espn.go.com/mlb/spring2012/story/_/id/7731316/2012-spring-training-chipper-jones-arthroscopic-surgery-torn-knee-meniscus
Quote DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones will have arthroscopic surgery Monday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. Jones injured the knee Thursday when he slipped while stretching before batting practice. It also was just before his scheduled news conference, where he announced he was planning to retire after this season. So much for a healthy Chipper.

That about sums up the past few years! :deadhorse: Title: Re: Chipper Jones to have knee surgery Post by: pmull on March 24, 2012, 06:24:08 PM This was my response in a thread a few days ago about Chipper retiring. Chipper has over stayed his welcome.
Quote His stats have been on a decline since 2007. His batting average has dropped and his injuries have increased. He had a good run, it is time for him to move on and open up a roster spot for the next young gun coming along.

A couple of years ago he missed a lot of games when he pulled a muscle in his side while swinging a bat, then it happened again, now he tears up a knee while stretching. This is like a skit for Saturday Night Live. What next, does he get a hernia while using the bathroom, maybe tear up his shoulder while wiping his rear?

Chipper, there is no shame in retiring NOW. Do not tarnish your reputation by clinging to some arrogant ideal of a "farewell tour."
