Robert Person Scouting Report

Robert Person
Part of the reason the Phillies have been reluctant to offer a long-term deal to Robert Person is because Person has been pitching with a small tear in his labrum for the past two seasons, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. It hasn't hampered him at all, however, as he's posted a 19-12 record with a 3.85 ERA in that span

He is very methodical in his warm-ups so that he reduces the risk of doing more damage to the shoulder. That helps, but why he doesn't have it taken care of is what I can't understand. It should not be a big problem if it is such a small tear, probably only arthroscopically performed. The off season would be a perfect time to do it. He did light it up last year [of course, just after I traded him!] in the second half when it was warmer, so it can't be all that bad!;)

Will most likely be in the first two months of the season when the cool weather still has a grip on the game. He should of had it addressed over the off season and it certainly would not be as much of a concern now.

What's funny is that the team Dr. ,operating out of the most prestigious hospital in the region, is a great joint surgeon [who also operated on my torn rotator cuff]. The guy could have had Person on his feet and throwing with no risk by now! Makes you wonder what people are thinking!:confused:

Robert Persons continued to have quality starts while pitching with the tear. If it aint broke, don't fix it. Must not be too serious.
