Cubs take Hector Rondon

Did he have TJS in between 2011 & 2012?

[jersey cubs fan]

must be a rehabbing pitcher as he's thrown 10 innings in 2 years

RT @BenBadler Rondon hasn't stayed healthy last 3 years, but talked to scouts who saw him throwing hard in VZ. Not surprised he went high.

Rondon is a Tommy John surgery recover-ee.

 

Appears to be so

D-Backs took Starling Peralta

He had Tommy John after 2010 and then broke his elbow in 2011.

Yeah just saw that. TJS is one thing, but a fractured elbow....

[sneakypower]

we passed on our 2nd pick

Thank god for Obamacare otherwise all these injured dudes would skyrocket the Cubs health care costs and ruin the savings they've seen in payroll.

...would seem less serious to me.

rondon barely walks anyone. i guess that's something to build on.

[Guest]

Looks like he's been pretty good at striking guys out and not walking them (prior to the injuries).

only two walks surrendered in the past two years!

If he can hit 98 as a starter, I'm intrigued to see what he can do in the bullpen.

Some Cleveland news article during the frantic googling. I think it was 97 or 98 in a rehab start in Arizona.

"Like any pitcher coming off surgery, his elbow is still tight, but he's been pitching well," said Ross Atkins, Indians director of player development. "He just punched out five guys in two innings in Arizona while throwing between 97 mph and 98 mph."
