April 7, 201610 yr Marlins top prospect Tyler Kolek underwent Tommy John surgery today, MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo reports (via Twitter). Kolek was said in late March to have been sidelined with an elbow issue after a strong Spring Training. Miami made the big right-hander the second pick in the 2014 draft (behind Brady Aiken and directly ahead of Carlos Rodon and Kyle Schwarber), but his career hasn’t taken off as the Marlins had hoped. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/04/marl...ml?fv-home=true I wish the kid well but I am greatful to the Marlins for passing on Rodon. Credit the Sox for drafting Spencer Adams (#26 overall) whom had a better '15 season than Kolek (#2 overall) and is Winston-Salem's #1 starter this year.
