That's why you have to love the best sports writer in Chicago (I would say the best journalist in Chicago, but I don't read the other news). No worries on the slight mix-up, it was bound to happen at some point.

Ugh, bad news with Campy - TJS and done for the season:

 

DetroitTigers.com[/url]"]LAKELAND, Fla. -- Tigers left-handed reliever Edward Campusano will undergo Tommy John surgery on his left elbow on Tuesday, thus ending his 2007 season before it began.

Campusano was examined on Monday by noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews after initial tests on his elbow last week were inconclusive. The follow-up exam showed a partial ligament tear, according to Campusano's agent, Bill Rego.

 

Dr. Andrews will perform the procedure in Birmingham, Ala., then Campusano will report back to Lakeland for rehabilitation. Though there's no set timetable for a return, a typical recovery time would put him back on the mound sometime early next year. In any scenario, it ends his quest to make the jump from Double-A ball to the bullpen of the defending American League champions this year.

 

...

 

Under Rule 5 Draft terms, a drafted player must spend the entire season on his new club's 25-man roster or else be offered back to his old team for $25,000. In case of injury, if the player spends more than half the season on the disabled list, he can remain on the new club, but goes into the next season with the same restrictions. In other words, the Tigers can put him on the DL and treat him as a Rule 5 pick for next year.

 

It's the third elbow problem in as many years for Campusano, who missed the final couple of weeks of last season with a left elbow strain after missing half of the 2005 season with inflammation. The hope is that, with surgery at a relatively young age, he'll be able to bounce back relatively easily.
