winninguglyin83 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 More bad injury news for the Sox farm system. The word Friday at the University of Louisville basketball game was that Thomas Royse, the Sox third-round pick in the 2010 draft, will miss the 2011 season. Royse, the best pitcher in the Big East last season at Louisville, had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow several weeks ago. Pretty sure he was shut down last summer when he pitched at Great Falls. Mitchell, Phegley, Royse ... the hits just keep on coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hmmm... I hadn't heard that. But I'm not shocked. He missed quite a few games in the second half due to a strained elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had the surgery 2 months ago say, October he should pitch again toward the end of this season to get his arm going again and get ready for 2012.

He probably would have himself in respectable shape for the start of short season in late June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) There has been no story written about this, thus no link. But the info is solid. He isn't high enough on the food chain for Chicago media to be tracking him yet. But he was a very solid pitcher last season in college. Big frame. Good movement. Repeats his delivery well. Hopefully, his recovery is complete. Edited January 3, 2011 by winninguglyin83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It wasn't really that I didn't believe you. I just wanted a bit more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
