Rocco Baldelli sidelined with unknown medical condition
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Tampa Bay's Rocco Baldelli will begin the season on the disabled list because of a condition that the 26-year-old outfielder says leaves him extremely fatigued after short workouts.
Baldelli has been sidelined since last May because of lingering hamstring problems and has appeared in just 127 of 486 games the past three seasons because of an assortment of injuries. He has played in two games this spring, going 0-for-4 as a designated hitter.
Baldelli will be sidelined indefinitely, but said he is not retiring. He said there hasn't been an exact diagnosis but that doctors have told him he has "some type of metabolic and/or mitochondrial abnormalities."

nooooo. Rocco we think about you every day here in Cranston. Read Sunday's article and totally understand where you're coming from. Having seen you play in high school, and since you hurt your leg slam dunking a ball your freshman year back in what 1995? 1996? your legs have never been the same. You're an amazing athlete and hopefully you can still get around this to prove to yourself, more than anybody else, that you still have what it takes to play. Take care and hope the diagnosis isn't too severe!!
