The old proverb says, “One man’s loss is another man’s gain.”
In yesterday’s Spring Training game between the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox, Wilson Betemit of the O’s went down in the 5th inning with an injury. After the game it was announced Betemit suffered a torn PCL in his right knee.
Betemit will be out an estimated 6-8 weeks, but that might be to the benefit of Steve Pearce.
