Barret Loux
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/0...medium=twitter
'Backs let him go to FA after physical revealed tear in labrum. He was a RH SP from Texas A&M. I saw him pitch twice....was very impressed. Anyone think there is even a small chance we take a flier?

Diamondbacks Set Loux Free Posted Aug. 17, 2010 11:10 am by John Manuel Filed under: Signings The statement reads: “We have reached an agreement regarding Barret Loux’s status that is mutually beneficial to the parties. Today Commissioner Selig has announced that Loux will become a free agent on September 1. As such, he will be free to sign with any Major League Club at that time. In addition, the Arizona Diamondbacks will receive a Supplemental Selection in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. |

Re: Barret Loux
This seems like a weird thing to have happen.

Re: Barret Loux
Should the Reds try to sign Barret Loux when he becomes a free agent on September 1? The Reds could sign him to a minor league deal and put him on the minor league DL?

Re: Barret Loux
Does anyone even know why he failed the physical?

Re: Barret Loux
yes, somehow I skimmed over the first post without seeing the labrum tear. I tore my labrum around the same age as Loux. Had it scoped. Twenty years later my shoulder still hurts.

Re: Barret Loux
My rule on pitchers: Stay away from ALL pitchers with labrum tears.

I'm sensing major sarcasm so let me rephrase. Chris Carpenter had a torn labrum. He turned out very well. I admit though that Carpenter is the exception rather than the rule. Not many pitchers make it back after that injury. |

Re: Barret Loux
Isn't the claim that he pitched like this all year without knowing?
If so, is surgery really necessary?

Re: Barret Loux
If the Diamondbacks sign Barret do they get to keep the draft pick?
