In the history of baseball reporting, has any pitcher ever been described as having "unsuccessful" Tommy John surgery?
Not that I'm aware of. They always say it was "successful."
White Sox pitching prospect Dane Dunning is the latest player to "successfully" have the procedure. His visit with Dr. James Andrews was Monday.
Dunning is the No. 6 prospect in the Sox organization and the No. 80 prospect in baseball overall, according to MLB pipeline.
So, with Michael Kopech also recuperating from "successful" Tommy John surgery, that means two of the Sox's three best pitching prospects will miss the entire 2019 season.
Yep, that rebuild is right on schedule.
We're about to embark on Year 3 of this rebuild, and I'm not sure the Sox have *anything* in place for the long haul. Maybe Tim Anderson is a keeper? Does a shortstop who plays good defense and bats .240 with a .687 OPS qualify as a success story?
That's about all we have from these young players right now, Sox fans. It's already ugly, and some things need to start going right sometime in 2019.
