Note: Church Wants In, Willie is Cautious

Prior to last night’s game, Ryan Church told reporters that he never had a concussion, he is fine and expects to be back in the lineup during today’s finale against the Braves.

Willie Randolph, however, prefers to be more cautious, telling reporters:

“We’re going to be ultra cautious with him.  When you’re dealing with the head injuries you don’t want to mess with that.  We want to make sure he can do physical things, get up and down and give us an honest feeling of where he is.  If he feels any type of lightheadedness or wooziness, then we won’t take a chance with him.  He’s too important to us.”
