Ryan Kalish undergoes labrum surgery 01.30.13 at 3:50 pm ET
By

The Red Sox announced that outfielder Ryan Kalish underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder with a repair of the posterior labrum in his right (non-throwing) shoulder on Tuesday. The 24-year-old is expected to miss all of spring training and multiple months of the big league season.

A year ago, after he underwent surgery to repair the labrum on his left (throwing) shoulder in early December, Kalish played his first game for a minor league affiliate at the end of May. This year, with his surgery coming nearly two months later, the Sox expect that his 2013 campaign will start even later, even as the fact that the surgery was done on his non-throwing shoulder suggests that the rehab might not require quite as much time.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum.

    this guy exemplifies how messed up baseball is these days.  this bum had this injury in  september.could of had surgery then.  but nope lets wait til   about february   so my rehab  takes me into august when i coulda been back   by beginning of june.  now he can collect his money and be on the dl  instead of playing.   all these guys do it but it seems sox players do it the most.

      If your comments are serious, then you have no clue about the mindset of an athlete. More likely, you have been plotting on how to retire yourself on disability for most of your life

      • bird from woonie

        your an idiot. look it up he had the injury in september he could of had surgery then.  why wait until   february for the operation if he didnt want his rehab to go deep into the season. another lost year for this guy.   but he still gets paid.  look at ellsbury”s  shoulder injury in early april last year  shoulda been 6 weeks  took him til august to get back.  but he still got paid. these guys are bums.  who cant/wont play hurt. 

        • Lefty

          No you are an absolute idiot.  He gets paid?  He gets paid minor league money, which is NOTHING compared to the major league minimum.  He tried to rehab it without surgery, which would have allowed him to compete for the left field platoon with Gomes.  Now, he won’t get back to PAWTUCKET until the season has started, but he took the chance so he could make the sox.  Kalish is no bum, but you might be….

            kalish is too, a bum.

  • trollhunter

    Let”s wait and see people some f these rookies might be gems. How can you say a pick was bad when we haven”t seen them play at the pro level yet. I think the scouts and player personal of the patriots know a little bit more then us arrm chair qb”s. When and if they fail then we can judge.

  • scarletknightshoodie

    Harmon would have been available in the 7th round. I don’t get this fascination with these Rutgers guys. Stedman Bailey should have been the pick to add some WR talent to a very thin position on the roster which also includes Amendola and Edelman, two guys who are injury prone.

    • innovator

      Thank God BB grabbed Boyce to make up for that horrible pick.

    Just because a WR is 6’3-6’5 that does not make him good.. Wake up guys

  • hlbouley

    If Harmon was projected to be undrafted and the Pats are sitting with 3 7th round picks what is the reasoning for drafting harmon so high? Did the Pats know something about this kid no-one else did? And perhaps they were afraid there was someone privy to the same info which made them move quickly.

  • SoCal Pats Fan

    It’s not about being an expert. To be honest, you don’t need to be an expert to figure this out. Quit drinking the Kool-Aid. Part of being a fan is being able to critique your team. They passed on LB Khaseem Greene from Rutgers, who was a 2x Big East Player of the Year (and former safety) and chose Harmon.

    It’s common sense. Harmon could have been taken in the 7th. BB is all about value, so how does this fit into his line of thinking? He was the 26th ranked safety and he was taken with the 91st pick…Try to be a little objective here…this pick was terrible for the 3rd round. No value, not really a need for Pats, and most importantly, there were better players available at 91 at DL, WR, OL, and LB.

  • glenn88

    No, I like the first two picks. They had Collins and Dobson high on their board for their system and noboby will argue with that. But you need a good track record identifying DB talent to justify taking these two guys who are not on any boards. And guys like Mel Kiper and Mayock all put their boards together from talking with scouts, so there is legitimacy to all their lists. Fans have a right to complain about the 3rd round picks, but the 2nd round picks are justifiable.

  • Steven Seagall

    It’s called history you blind homer. Get your head out of your @ss! History tells us BB’s 2nd & 3rd round picks are monumental busts. Do you conveniently forget this ever year at draft time, you stupid homer.

  • Jessi Valletta

    Dude, Harmon wasn’t even invited to the combine this year. Great job defending that one. Stupid homers like you make this team look bad. Tough life being a lunchpail ignorant type, huh?

  • Darrin Herrang

    What a big biy Sean is. Did you come up wih that all on your own?

  • Peter Jaffries

    Yeah, let’s wait until Brady’s done and this team is back in the dark ages. Great thinking. Must be sunny where you live.

  • spitfire1064

    Defend? Now? You can’t defend this draft until you see the players on the field, I just love how people bashed the drafting of, oh……..Gronkowski, and there are others who loved the draft that we took Wheatley, get my point sunshine. And I love how you began each of these draft articles post with another name.

    Hey bimbo, did I say these picks were great??? Can you read, or do you just cook and clean?? I’m not in the General manager business like this fool BB, Glenn, and obviously your fat arse self think you are!!! Why cry in April?? I simply said let the picks play out and we wil see!!!! No homer here!! I think the safety pick will be a mistake, but the corner is actually a decent player, but morons like you and BB think if Mel Kiper and Todd Mcshay dont pump the players tires, that they cant play! I mean really, canyou read?? Didnt I say Tavon is a bust?? Didnt I say that they miss on corners way too often?? I will spell out what I meant for you, because you are obviously not very smart! Glenn said they have no credibility drafting Db’s which is untrue!! They hit on Mccourty and Dennard recently, both starters, and good players…Rasi can play but i injury proned, which will make i a bad pick, but the jury is still out…Wilson looks like a bust, but who draws a conclusion on a player after one season?? Idiots like you!!! You people are stating that the have no credibility, but their starting safety and corner were both recent draft picks, as well as Chung, who was pretty good until the last season and a half!! Chung fell apart du to injury!!! They also found Arrington as an undrafted free agent! Arrington is a solid corner when in the slot!!! There you go, a few examples to disspell you fools!!! Please try to be a normal football fan and realize that almost all Nfl teams miss on most of their draft picks, especially after the 1st and 2nd round..

    Geez, you are really tricky!!! You have used 5 different id’s to try to support your argument! Your such an idiot that you are using the same insults in each post!! You have called me a blind homer under 3 different id’s now!! Go jump off the Tobin bridge will you please!! Which troll are you?? Johnny Spygate most likely!!!

  • Anonymous

    What about undrafted free agents??? Are they on Kipers list high?? No!! Do I have to give you a list of guys that hav become solid players, that werent rated high by Kiper?? First, Ryan is rated as a 2nd or 3rd rounder, right where they got him!! The Harmon pick baffles me as much as anyone else!! I never said I liked the Harmon pick, but Ryan wasnt a stretch according to his predetermined draft position by the experts..

  • Anonymous

    Glenn, go back and do your homework!!! Ryan is actually rated as a top 50 pick by several publications!!

    Geez, which toll are you?? You are trying to be slick, but your nothing more than an idiot!! Is this what you do to amuse yourself??? You have used at least 6 ids now, so instead of being a coward, why dont you use your real name and stand up like a man!! You make me sick!!!

  • innovator

    Look at what BB passed on to take Tavon,who wasn’t even ranked in the top six rounds!! BB passed on Welker’s replacement in Ryan Broyles,and passed on Chris Givens,the best receiver in the draft,passed on him twice..I yelled and screamed onthis website all last March and april before the draft to take these guys….Safeties in the second round almost 100 percent of the time have an impact for the positive,and start in their rookie seasons….We need to start holding BB accountable…Yeremiah Bell at one year and a million and a half,who could play both safety positions,also met with the patriots last year,wouldve been a no brainer,captain obvious decision,so we could use him at safety and use the second rounder on a legitimate NFL talent…BB’s decisions have been like this since april of 2004…Luckily he grabbed Boyce in the 4th,or this draft could’ve been a disaster…There’s evidence out there that we need a new GM,lots of bloody gloves…AS a coach,excellent,as a GM,question marks…

  • innovator

    The issue was that everyone in the world thought Wilson would be marginal,and BB went and picked him anyway,wasting a high pick,and showing an obvious lack of common sense that he showed in 2004,2006,2007,2008,2009,and 2011…..We have issues,its obvious…Passing on Damontre moore THREE TIMEs will come back to bite him as well..

  • Deanerys Stormbum

    Cool story Whitey. Loser.

  • innovator

    Cut dowling and not Marquice Cole?? Watch Dowling this year(healthy obviously)…If he’s hurt again,,then cut him…..If he doesn’t make it,Kraft should start considering getting a GM that doesn’t grossly reach on over half of his draft picks,esp the important ones in the second and third rounds..

  • Anonymous

    Agree that Wilson was a horrible pick, especially for the 2nd round!!! I can’t agree if your telling me that the last 3 drafts were poor. They got Gronk, Hernandez,Ridley, Vereen,Dennard,Hightower, Jones,Cannon,Solder,Mallett,Mccourty,Spikes,Deaderick,Mesko, and even Cunningham, who started to get it together last year..I would say that they have scored with these players, wouldnt you??

  • innovator

    History, 2011- 2nd round Dowling 2010 2nd round Jermaine Cunningham 3rd round- taylor Price 2009 2nd round Patrick Chung Ron Brace Darius Butler 3rd round Brandon Tate Tyrone Mckenzie 2008 2nd round Tyrone Wheatley 3rd round Shawn Crable ,Kevin O’Connell 2006 first round Laurence Maroney 2nd round- Chad Jackson(gave up a second round pick to move up to get him) 3rd round David Thomas 2005 third round Nick Kaczur(passed on Chris Snee the year before) 2004 second round Marquise Hill 3rd round Guss Scott…..Nothing personal,but the horrific misses severely outweigh the hits,and Rob Gronkowski was ranked as the 15 th best player overall going into the draft….Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to snag him in the second…..Nothing personal,and I won’t tell you to use your brain ;)

    Well said, thank you!!! My thoughts exactly!!

    Hey idiot, can you read??? Didnt I say that Harmon was a stretch?? Do you know what that means??? It means I dont like it idiot!!! Nice try with the fake id again troll!!! You might want to stop calling me a homer in all of your posts, its giving you away loser!!

  • innovator

    They should’ve taken Damontre Moore at that pick just out of principle…He’s going to make the Giants forget about Umienyora…One weed arrest and a bad combine,and the league avoids him like the plague..I’m going to be specifically watching him..

  • innovator

    I loved the mankins pick the second we made it….He was way undervalued before the draft….We needed a mean Guard at the time too!! Its the Nick Kaczur pick that made me hurl.

  • innovator

    I’d call him out on that pick in a second…..

  • Anonymous

    I agree that they were lousy before the 2010 draft, but you need to realize that the sucess rate for draft picks after the 1st and 2nd round is very low. Teams miss more than they hit on lower round picks…They have been pretty solid since the 2010 draft..

  • herpderp

    You can’t say a hit or miss outweighs another, just that there are either more of one than the other. And sure, prior to 2010 he screwed up a LOT of picks. But the trend in the past 3 years has swung the other way, with more hits than misses. It’s just easy to be a knee-jerk moron and be like “WTF Y U TAKE THIS GUY???!!?!” when we clearly all don’t know much about these players. We have all these ‘draft scouts’ in here telling us how much of a bust Player X is, when they didn’t know his name or what position he played an hour before. They are just butt-hurt Bill didnt pick the guy THEY pegged as the solution to the team, and therefore the picks are wasted. THAT is the point I was addressing when Segall made the blanket statement that mid-round picks are monumental busts.

  • Jessi Valletta

    Right on my man. Finally, a REAL Pats fan who won’t tell you the junk he’s been force fed is actually good. Since Peoli’s left, BB has had dreadful drafts. Those are facts. Would be better if most homers round here would just admit it.

  • Samantha Lomo

    There you go again Whitey, yapping away. Didn’t momma use to tell you that children should be seen, not heard.

  • Fallon Stigh

    Yeah Gronk’s an awesome example. Dude’s always hurt and cost us two Super Bowls. Yeah it might have been freakish, but still…. Thanks a lot Gronk.

  • Jessi Valleta

    If Whitey walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck…. He must be a homer.

  • Anonymous

    Speaking of momma!! What the hell did your momma do to you to create such a damn moron??? Samantha, or is it Deanyrus Stormbum, or BB Antics, or Jessie Valetta?? Which troll name will you use next?? Johnny Spygate?? I’m pretty sure their all you!! Anyway, I have better things to do then address a friggin loser like you!!!

  • Simon Dirk

    Whitey, you need to chill brah, get that bp level down. Sit this next one out.
