Edgy MD Site Manager Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Won't be able to be a Vegan this summer, as he'll be recovering from open heart surgery.I can't visit ESPN at work so I can't read the article, so I know not how grave his condition is nor who the Mets have lined up as a replacement.
TransMonk Old-Timey Member Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Per Rubin (for Edgy @ work):Frank Viola is scheduled to undergo open-heart surgery next WednesdayRon Romanick is expected to replace Viola as the pitching coach for the Pacific Coast League team.
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 They apparently detected a faulty ticker upon his routine physical at spring training. Not sure the severity of it but heart surgery is kinda scary.
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Wishing for a speedy recovery.Later
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 The legend of St. Lucie physicals continues, huh?
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 29, 2014 Author Posted May 29, 2014 Viola heading to Vegas to resume his duties.
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 With all due respect... he's a pitching coach in Vegas. Any doctor who'd clear him to return to work should be stripped of licensure, shouldn't she?
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 I hope he can drop about 100 lbs....
