January 1, 201115 yr More bad injury news for the Sox farm system. The word Friday at the University of Louisville basketball game was that Thomas Royse, the Sox third-round pick in the 2010 draft, will miss the 2011 season. Royse, the best pitcher in the Big East last season at Louisville, had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow several weeks ago. Pretty sure he was shut down last summer when he pitched at Great Falls. Mitchell, Phegley, Royse ... the hits just keep on coming.
January 2, 201115 yr Hmmm... I hadn't heard that. But I'm not shocked. He missed quite a few games in the second half due to a strained elbow.

If he had the surgery 2 months ago say, October he should pitch again toward the end of this season to get his arm going again and get ready for 2012.

He probably would have himself in respectable shape for the start of short season in late June.
January 3, 201115 yr Author There has been no story written about this, thus no link. But the info is solid. He isn't high enough on the food chain for Chicago media to be tracking him yet. But he was a very solid pitcher last season in college. Big frame. Good movement. Repeats his delivery well. Hopefully, his recovery is complete. Edited January 3, 201115 yr by winninguglyin83
