Brandon Moss will undergo surgery Friday to repair a divot forming in the bone of his left knee and is expected to be out 4-6 months. The second opinion must have confirmed the original diagnosis. The extent of his microfracture won’t be fully known until the procedure is underway. “We’re not going to have a firm idea of length until Dr. Steadman gets in there and sees what’s inside,” GM Neal Huntington said. It looks as though Moss could miss part of the 2009 season. “(The injury) was caught early,” general manager Neal Huntington said. “We’re optimistic Brandon will be back on the field early next spring.” Moss, who turned 25 last week, has played in 45 games for the Pirates, batting .222 with six homers and 23 RBI in 158 at-bats. This injury could make him an injury risk for the beginning of the 2009 season. He should enter spring 2009 with a starting job, but we don’t see him doing much better than a .280-15-80-75-5 Fantasy line if he gets full-time at-bats. (Rotoworld, Rotowire, CBS Sports)
