| Jason Simontacchi wants a second opinion on his ailing right elbow before getting a second cortisone shot. He will fly to Alabama on Thursday to be examined by Dr. James Andrews. "It scares you, because I've never had a problem with my elbow before. So I don't know what to expect," Simontacchi said in the AP. "It hasn't gotten any better, it hasn't gotten any worse. But it doesn't make any sense for me to go out there when I'm 75 percent or whatever." |
