A's Bonus Baby Out: Ynoa Has Elbow Issue

by athleticsBB4life on Jun 6, 2009 10:15 PM PDT Comment 17 comments

Slusser Reports:

Now top pitching prospect Michael Ynoa, the 17-year-old sensation from the Dominican Republic, is out of action because of elbow soreness.

According to assistant general manager David Forst, Ynoa had an MRI exam last week that will be reviewed by Drs.

Ynoa had been doing a throwing program at the A's minor-league complex in Phoenix and there was hope he would pitch in the Arizona Rookie League this summer.

"We're in the process of determining how severe it is," Forst said.

See, Inoa would have pitched all the time

He never should have introduced the ol’ “and sometimes Y.”

I miss PT pretty much every time I come to the site these days.

It is so lacking without him.

This site doesn’t have as much substance without him/monkeyball/waddellcanseco etc.

Occassionally I’ll search SBN to see if he’s been up to anything elsewhere, but alas, I can’t justify taking up Cal basketball for three comments a month.

banned for being tactless

because we’re so open and accepting about different opinions here.

Tell him to come back to minorleagueball

PT and I often got into disputes but at least he attempted to raise logical arguments, even if they often contradicted other arguments he made earlier.

His ban was only for 30 days

He’s chosen not to come back, from what I’ve gathered.

He is still a great prospect even if this results in the surgery that shall not be named, but you never like to hear about elbow issues. Just might have to slow the hype train on Ynoa a bit and be patient with him.
