Shoulder surgery. Out for year.

Or, as the TwinkieTown writer aptly put it: meh, might as well.

Just for the record the like is because I appreciate your contribution to the Twins Daily community. Not because I'm happy Hughes will be having shoulder surgery.

Okay so Hughes is done for the season and the Twins will stubbornly stick with the rotation they started the year with minus Hughes.

 

Santana

Gibson

Nolasco

Duffey

Milone

 

Berrios stays in AAA and May stays in the bullpen.  I hate it, absolutely hate it.

 

And to think we could have drafted Giolito (who debuted yesterday for the Nats) and hung onto Ramos who is hitting .343 this year with an .948 Obs.  I think i'm going to go puke.

Wow the procedure sounds pretty serious. Removing part of his rib bone to alleviate pain? Ouch.... Good luck to Hughes on his recovery. 

I read that and my side instantly started to hurt.  That does not sound fun at all.  Good luck, Mr. Hughes.

I just can't wait for the "tweet" explaining how sorry he is for taking so much money now that he's hurt and how he never wanted to be THAT guy. Ala, Glen Perkins! LOL

 

I do feel sorry for both of them, it's just getting comical at this point. 

 

Remember when we had so many pitchers in spring training that there were battles to make the rotation?

Berrios will be up in the near future. My guess is they want to try May at closer. If it's not successful, he'll get a change to win a spot in the rotation next season.
