Bryson Surgery, Radio Show Update

Just a quick update on right-hander Rob Bryson, but from a source close to the situation he is scheduled to have surgery this Wednesday October 8th. The surgery will be to repair a torn labrum, and is an in and out procedure where he will have the surgery and be out of the hospital in less than a day. Bryson most likely will miss all of the 2009 season where he will be at the new Goodyear complez rehabbing and getting prepared for spring training 2010 when he should be 100% or near 100%. There is an outside shot Bryson could make a few rehab appearances late in the season in the Arizona League (the new rookie team replacing the GCL team for obvious reasons).

Also, just a reminder that Michael Brantley and his agent Josh Kusnick will be on my radio show this Thursday at 9:30pm ET. The direct link to Thursday's show is below:

Josh will answer questions from me and he will also take calls from any fans who want to call in to speak to him. Phone number to call is 646-716-8012. Brantley himself will also be on, but will be doing an on-air interview and will not be taking calls from the fans. As a reminder, for those that cannot listen live, the show is podcasted and can be downloaded and listened to at anytime by visiting the links I provided above.
