One of the most heartbreaking things for us here on the minor league side at Talking Chop is to see players we like both as people and as players suffer setbacks in their development. Rough seasons and/or injuries happen all the time in the minor leagues and many chalk it up to “just the way it goes”, but these are real people with real dreams and to see their careers potentially derailed is the opposite of fun. However, injuries are not the end of the line for most players and one such player that is even closer to making it to the big leagues than he was BEFORE he went down due to injury is right-handed pitcher Patrick Weigel.
