I had already braced myself for the worst, but this definitely sucks to hear for sure. Oh well, as long as he is ready for next year

Keepers are keeping him anyway and it might drive his stock down just a bit for redrafters next year - its just too bad we got left holding the bag right at the start of the stretch-run/playoffs
