2011 Draft: O'Brien shut down with shoulder soreness

Blaine O'Brien

48th round pick right-handed pitcher Blaine O'Brien was pitching summer ball in the New England Collegiate Baseball League until shoulder soreness forced him to be sidelined after just two appearances. He is a summer follow for the Indians as they wanted to watch him pitch more before offering him a contract, so this may hurt his chances. If the Indians do sign him it looks like at this point it will be for a minimal bonus amount.
