"Just about everybody I've talked to in the game thinks that Garciaparra still can hit, as long as he's healthy. To his credit, Nomar has an admirable history of fighting back. After his wrist injury limited him to 21 games in '01, he had two straight good years. Injuries kept him out of 81 games in '04, but he still hit .308 when he was healthy.
Last year, before the groin injury, he was hitting just .157. After he returned to the Cubs' lineup, in early August, he hit .318 the rest of the way, with nine homers and 26 RBIs in 179 at-bats."
