I remember watching this guy in the college world series last year when doing a game thread. And now, this guy had Tommy John Surgery (as a catcher, not that bad), and now?

After watching injured third-round draft pick Taylor Teagarden shuffle around camp unable to participate in drills, manager Buck Showalter gave him a pep talk Friday afternoon. Teagarden has a stress fracture in his lower back and is recovering from "Tommy John" surgery. He may not play at all this season. Showalter told him to focus on getting something out of his time in major league camp instead of worrying about what's already happened.

"It's tough," Showalter said Saturday. "He's been a doer all his life and now he's just a spectator."


That is some incredibly crappy luck. Poor guy. I know he wasn't getting to the Rangers any time soon, but a stress fracture in the lower back? You really don't see that happen much.
