	Magglio Ordóñez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Magglio Ordóñez [or-DOH-nyez] (born January 28, 1974 in Caracas, Venezuela) is a Major League Baseball right fielder and right-handed batter who has played for the Chicago White Sox (1997-2004) and the Detroit Tigers (2005-).
		Because of Magglio's knee injury from the 2004 season, the contract included a clause which stated that if he were to spend more than 25 days on the disabled list because of the same injury, the contract could be bought out for $3 million dollars at the discretion of the Tigers' management.
		In 2005, Magglio's first season for Detroit, he strained an abdominal muscle during the first week of the season and subsequently spent the next three months on the disabled list, as the strain turned out to be a hernia.

		When Ordonez is on -- and before last summer's injury-ruined season, he had averaged 32 homers and 118 RBI in the previous five seasons -- that's what he does.
		The official diagnosis was bone marrow edema, and when doctors showed him the X-rays, all Ordonez saw was the season disappearing and the calendar pages falling off of the wall as he zoomed toward free agency.
		Essentially, according to Ordonez, the process in Austria involved doctors using shock-wave therapy -- something not yet approved in the United States for his type of injury -- to create microfractures in the knee, "to create trauma in the bone and increase the blood flow.

		I do not think of Magglio Ordonez the right fielder of the White Sox as a premier base runner, but you have to admit this is a different sort of pose to use for a McFarlane Toys action figure.
		Ordonez is at least a decent base runner, who did have 25 steals in 32 tries in 2001, so the idea of him being out there on the base paths is not totally strange, just somewhat different.
		Ordonez's salary jumped from $9 million to $14 million this year, the final one in his current contract, and the White Sox have not been talking about a contract extension because of the franchise's financial limitations.
