Going, Going, Gone

It sounds like the makings of a Chuck Norris joke: C.J. Cron swings so hard he dislocates his own kneecap. Unfortunately that's what happened on Aug. 7th. He was taken to the hospital for treatment and underwent an MRI on Monday. The severity of the injury isn't known, according to this report in the L.A. Times, but it's possible that he will miss the rest of his promising rookie season. Cron was leading the Pioneer League with 13 HR and 41 RBI and batting .308 for the Orem Owlz when he went down.
