Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Ryan Ketchner

As a person interested in the deaf community, I have been wondering where Ryan Ketchner landed since ligament replacement surgery in 2005 (I believe it was the ulnar nerve, the same one that was bothering Eric Gagne).  I saw in the LA Times this morning that Ketchner has re-surfaced with the Vero Beach Dodgers bullpen.

So far this season he is 1-1 with a 1.62 ERA.  He has a 18:3 K:BB in 16 2/3 IP in Vero Beach.  In 2004, Ketchner was a AA all star with some potential, and he also had a stint in AAA.

What does everyone think could be in his future?  He is now 24 years old, so while he is not young, he is certainly not too old to give up on.  Does anyone know the rate of recovery from this type of surgery?

Ketchner
as a soft tossing finesse lefty, his odds of making are already pretty low. I mean, he could be a nice feel good human interest story Plaschke can write about, but I don't really expect him to do anything with the dodgers.

Plaschke
Well, if Plaschke is doing the article then I would prefer he didn't make it.

in his defense
which makes me shudder to type, Plaschke really aint that bad at the soft-focus lens tear-jerk feel-good story..which is surprising considering how much of a brash asshole he is on TV

its actually analyzing sports that he sucks at and he makes things worse by being so sure of his inaccurate conclusions to ignore they are backed up by only bluster and that facts prove all his statements wrong
