Matt Purke

Not good for the game: "Speaking of which, TCU lefthander Matt Purke has been shut down with shoulder soreness and is headed to see Dr. James Andrews today. Not good. No pitcher wants the phrase “Dr. James Andrews” showing up in his bio."

That really sucks. Feel bad for the kid that he got drafted by the Rangers when they were having all their financial troubles and could not offer him his slotted amount as a top 10 pick. I hope he bounces back. Kid has some sick stuff.

You could be right. I just can't recall the exact specifics. There was not a lot of chatter about it because of what was going on with the Rangers financially.

So, his demand was $6mil and they offered him $4mil. Does it say anything about the slot.

Also, I thought for sure he was a top 10 pick. Don't remember him falling to 14. Guess I should do my home work next time.

Thanks for the info, AE.
