The Angels knew Kelvim Escobar probably wouldn't pitch this season; their hope now is that the veteran right-hander can salvage something from 2009.Escobar elected Friday to undergo surgery to repair a shoulder tear, a procedure that could sideline him until the All-Star break next season.

He will be missed and I hope he can off the surgery successfully. I have this deep fear that Kelvim will end up like Bartolo Colon did. Lets hope not!
Go Angels!

I wonder if this will force the Angels to re-sign Garland at the end of the year.

Might as well get Lasik while he's at it.

Least he doesn't have designer eyebrows like your Molina catcher, CardsFan2...

I hadn't noticed anything about the eyebrows; but, you can't miss the glasses Escobar wears.

Yeah the Angels have some optometrist. What about K-Rod's? The doctor may as well pass out those old military style glasses

So if he follows Mulder's formula, the Angels can count on 3 horrible starts in 2010 and about 30 pitches in 2011?

As far as pitchers are concerned, nothing's worse than what the Dodgers have done over the past few years. As far as the Angels pitchers and their optics, it's a Dominican thing!

It took a while; but I guess Arizona will be the big winners of the entire processl. Billy Beanne doesn't do nearly as well picking position players as he does picking pitchers.
