This was actually posted Thursday by a commenter, but I didn’t see it until now, and I think it bears mentioning.

Shoulder Surgery Likely for Kyle Slate

…an MRI has revealed a tear in his right labrum.

“Surgery looks likely,” said the 6-foot-5, 200 pound right-hander. He said the surgery would sideline  him 7-10 months.

A really tough break for a kid who missed parts of last year with mononucleosis, but who has been very effective when he’s been able to pitch.  He’s been mentioned before on this site as a sleeper, but he’s only managed to log 29.2 IP over the past 2 years.  Here’s wishing Kyle the best in his recovery.

  1. Still very young. Get the surgery and come back healthy. Look at Drabek. Still only 20 years old. A lot of time ahead.

  5. hes shot, once your hurt its over, and he wasnt good enough in the first place to be able to get hurt and get back up where he was. dont get me wrong hes a decent player, but if phillies thought he was good enough he would already be in lakewood playing for the blue claws, but hes not and got held back in fl.
