Cliff Lee Out 2-3 Weeks After Minor Surgery

I am told this is in no way of concern but certainly worthy of reporting. The Mariners have announced that Cliff Lee underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his left foot last Friday. He will have to stay off the foot for the next 7-10 days but should return to all normal baseball activity in the next 2-3 weeks.

Better to have him back to normal in 2-3 weeks than to have concerns that this could become a problem during the regular season.

"We decided Lee should have the surgery as soon as possible, rather than try to pitch with the discomfort during the year," Jack Zduriencik said. "To get it out of the way and have it behind us is important."

Pitchers and catchers report to Peoria Feb. 17.

  Calm down people

  Remember last year Lee started the season with a record of 1-5 and was 7-9 when he got traded to Philly. Don't get me wrong he is a great pitcher and i am glad we got him, but it wasn't until the second half of the season before he really dialed it in.

  Agreed.

  And to finish your last sentence:

  "..it wasn't until the second half of the season that he really dialed it in" and dominated the best team in baseball in the World freaking Series!

  No worries here.
