Jeez. His career could easily be done now. Didn't he have a shoulder issue previously as well?

Yeah. 2nd surgery

funny how drafting injured players often ends up with having an injured player.

Isn't this the guy that throws +97?

 

And Gaston said he was the best arm in the organization after a cup of coffee in the bigs?

Honestly TJS is a little different animal...I don't see it as big of a concern (still a concern of course...plus a huge year of development lost) as something like back or shoulder injuries.

I believe you're thinking of Farrell and Sam Dyson, who barely strikes anyone out and was DFA'd the winter following his cup of coffee to make room for Mark DeRosa.

 

Stilson has always had shoulder questions and many people opined that the Blue Jays should rush him through the minors so as to squeeze all the value out of him before he needed more surgery.
