Brandon Moss underwent an emergency appendectomy Saturday. His appendix picked a decent time to get inflamed as J.D. Drew returned from injury today. I wonder if he asked the doctors to hold a mirror over his stomach so he could observe the surgery ala Jack on LOST.
The favorite to replace Moss, out three weeks, is Chris Carter, a defensively-challenged first baseman who can rake. In 110 AB for the PawSox, he’s hitting .279/.328/.373 with no homers. Slow start for the lefty. We’ll see if he’s called up for the 1:35 start to help battle Scott Kazmir.
