 | Des Moines's Lintz Sidelined for Season Monday, August 23rd, 1999 Des Moines second baseman Larry Lintz could miss the remainder of the season because of a ruptured achilles tendon. He exited yesterday's Richmond game after injuring himself while running the bases. The original diagnosis said Lintz would be out 4-5 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer. "He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that." This year Lintz is batting .189 with 56 hits, no home runs, 14 RBIs, 47 walks, .322 OBP and has scored 37 runs. |   |
