http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/12/rocco-baldelli.html This is great news that his disease isn't as bad as originally believed, because he had, and still has, so much potential to be a great player in this league. He's always been a guy I've rooted for, especially this past season. Hope this helps him land a contract this off-season
My roommate in college played with him in high school in Rhode Island, so he got me following him in the MLB. Kid is a 5 tool player. If he was 100% I would want him no question.
That story reminds me of just about every episode of House M.D. First, they don't know what it is; then the guy has to have something really exotic, but incurable; then they think it's cancer; then House has a brilliant "light dawns" moment where he figures out that it's a different obscure disease, but this time very curable.
I saw one episode. The woman was going to die. Until house realised she was making milk in her body. And she lived. WTF
