When it comes to sports… especially with the explosion of fantasy sports… player information is huge, and fans want to know what is going on with players’ health. Well, sometimes you get what you ask for…

May 29 3B Carlos Guillen is expected to return to Detroit’s lineup Friday for the start of a weekend series in Seattle. Guillen missed Wednesday’s game and Detroit was off Thursday. “I’m going to stand him for two days,” Leyland said in deference to Guillen’s hemorrhoid condition. “I can use him as a hitter, but we need to let that quiet down. So with a day off, I chose this time.”

This makes me long for the NFL season and Bill Belichick’s notably vague and often misleading reports. It would be funny though if this was his skipper’s way of covering up a more embarrassing story… espeically when reporting back to the local papers:

“He can hardly move — he’s got hemorrhoids so bad,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Tuesday. “He’s been playing with hemorrhoids that probably need to be lanced. He probably shouldn’t have been out there (third base on Monday).” Leyland said the hemorrhoids have been bothering Guillen for about four or five days, but they have gotten worse in the last few days. “He could hardly walk (Monday night),” Leyland said.
