Should I place a bet on Indians minor league left-hander Jeremy Sowers?

Question

Indians minor league left-hander Jeremy Sowers was the sixth overall pick in 2004, and has been a profitable minor league player among the baseball betting circles. Should I place a bet on Indians minor league left-hander Jeremy Sowers in the upcoming baseball events?

Answer 1

Indians minor league left-hander Jeremy Sowers has had surgery to repair a tear in his rotator cuff.

The former first-round draft pick spent last season at Triple-A Columbus, pitching with soreness. He spent the off-season on a physical therapy program before opting for surgery.

Team physician Dr. Mark Schickendantz performed the operation Monday at the Cleveland Clinic. Sowers said he has already started a rehab program.

Sowers remains under the Indians' control on a minor-league contract.

The sixth overall pick in 2004, Sowers went 7-4 as a rookie two years later. He went 11-26 in a three-year span before being dropped from Cleveland's 40-man roster after the 2009 season.
