[USML Announce] Wada Shame

BALTIMORE -- Orioles left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada will fly to Los Angeles 
on Sunday for a second opinion on his ailing left elbow and says 
ligament reconstruction is likely if surgery is recommended.

"If it's going to be surgery, it's probably going to be Tommy John," 
Wada said Thursday through interpreter Seob Yoon.

The Japanese pitcher was previously diagnosed with ligament damage 
after a magnetic resonance angiogram. But the 31-year-old wants to 
consult with orthopedist Dr. Lewis Yocum before returning to Baltimore 
to consider his options with Orioles officials.

Wada, who signed an $8.15 million, two-year contract in December, 
experienced discomfort in his throwing elbow during spring training and 
was placed on the disabled list before the season.

I'll leave the Winners/Losers thing to Brad Lee, but I think we all 
know that Mr. Kerber's $9 bid is looking a little unfortunate right 
about now.  Hell, I'm guessing Mr. K was feeling bad about that bid the 
moment it left is mouth.  The real question though is who was doing 
god's work by bidding him up.  After what he did to me in the draft, I 
can only thank you.

That is all.
