Skaggs needs Tommy John Surgery

[Sherlock31]

OTL...................NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Angels]

And the Angels said surgery was not required last week. Haha

[WallyWorld]

Ouch. All the more important for CJ to get his head out of his ass this year. Dipoto will have to find another starter or 2 this offseason.

[Angels]

But the Angels said he didn't need surgery last week.

So much for that.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

****!

[Sherlock31]

So this Tommy John disease hits the Angels after all.................................

[HaloCory22]

Throw every cent we have to Scherzer and Lester in the offseason!

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Okay so we are down a starter for next year. Open up the bank again Artie.

[laagamer]

Great.

 

Looks like Wilson's pitching out the rest of the year in the starting rotation regardless of performance.

 

Hey look guys, it's a metaphor for our season.

[jshep]

See you in 2016!

[floplag]

i pray 2 things...
#1 he gets better ASAP

#2 we dont do anything stupid out of desperation .

[laagamer]

Arte will spend the money.

 

On what? 

[CAAngelsLifer]

Poor guy... I hate to see young guys go down with that. He's such a promising talent- now he has to wait, what at least a year? to see if he's going to come through it? Plus, we're screwed now. They'll have to pay some big bucks for a free agent. Scherzer with us is better than Scherzer with the Yankees. As long as we don't bring him here and break him like we seem to do to every other high end free agent.

We brought up Caleb Clay from AAA. He's a starter, which tells me there's an extremely short lease on Wilson.

 

That would be a good bit of news amidst the gloom.

[Ohtaniland]

I think that it's safe to say that we won't see Tyler Skaggs until spring training of 2016. Which is 553 days from today. So both Corbin and Skaggs end up with the same fate.

this is horrible news. Sucks for Skaggs. Really sucks for the Angels  Is this his 2nd Tommy John ?

Or that the bullpen needs a guy who can give them some length. 

 

Not sure how much good news the idea of this rotation having a shitty AAAA retread is anyway either.

[Richard]

Dammmm that blows. Get well soon Tyler.

[jshep]

So the rotation is now

 

Richards

Weaver

Wilson

Shoemaker

Santiago

 

And backing that rotation up is the likes of Wade LeBlanc, Randy Wolf, and Caleb Clay.

 

Yeeeesh.

[Ohtaniland]

Fartolo?

[Angels]

Wouldn't be an issue if Weaver and Wilson haven't been sucking lately.

[Stradling]

Wouldn't be an issue if Weaver and Wilson haven't been sucking lately.

Really? Putting Weaver in the same category as Wilson?

[Halos of Anaheim]

If we even make the postseason (barring a collapse), what will our rotation be? Richards/Weaver/Shoemaker? Seems like that's the only option right now. We're going to need a Lackey re-incarnation from Shoe this year.
