Kyle Drabek done for the season

The Blue Jays have learned today that Kyle Drabek is going to be having Tommy John surgery for the second time in four years and the last time it happened was when he was in the Phillies farm system and it took Drabek 13 month to fully heal last time. So after Drabek felt a pop in his shoulder last Wednesday it turns out that after Dr. Andrews examined it was actually a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament which connects the large bones in upper and lower arm. It is simply an educated guess that the Jays will not see Drabek pitch again this season in any form i.e majors, a, double a, or even triple a but at least other pitchers like Jason Frasor of the Blue Jays has fully recovered from two tommy john surgeries and is successful in the majors. So will diffidently be looking at a pitcher to fill the holes in the rotations and Canadian Ryan Dempster would one of the guys on the marker that could fit the bill except that he has been put on the 15-day DL with right lat tightness which the same kind of situation the Jays are dealing with Drew Hutchison and he is being on a no throw program along with going to see a doctor in Cincinnati to get a second option. It is not look good for the Jays right now with 60% of their starting rotation on the DL but at least if they want to take a run at Cole Hamels he is still available and they would need a pony up big bucks for his services after this season at least he is worth it as he does have a great ERA (3.39 career) and picked up a record of 83-57 with a Philles team not known for run support.
