what a fukkin selfish prick he is!!!

Fukk Matt Weiters!

He can still hit ... why not atleast make himself available to play first base and DH!

man i miss the old school players like Ken Caminitti. Guy played through a torn rotator cuff. This generations ball player is a selfish pussy.

yeah this was in the works for a while. They hoped to avoid it but they suspected all along he'd have to have it because he couldn't throw.

My friend just said the same thing to me this morning.

going to hurt the o's...

This is from all these guys playing baseball year round from 6 years old. It's simply overuse.

9 months from what I've heard. Catchers throw more than other positional players, so who knows?

Pretty shitty, he was off to a career year.

Going to hurt the o's is an understatement... his replacement Caleb Joseph has 9 hits in 64 at bats so far this year... average is .141 and slugging .188
