Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein announced Saturday that outfield prospect Ryan Westmoreland has a “cavernous malformation” in his brain and will require surgery to fix it.
From the description of a brain malformation on the Providence Journal’s website, it sounds like he should be able to make a full recovery. Still, any time you combine the words “brain” and “surgery” there is obvious reason for concern. Westmoreland, 19, is an immensely talented prospect, and hit .296/401/.484 with seven homers, 35 RBI and 19 stolen bases in 223 at-bats last season for Single-A Lowell.

Definitely. I wish the kid a successful surgery and full recovery.

This is no more than a pipe dream. Bay and Delgado are already free agents, the Mets can sign them both, no need to make trades.

Ummm…. yeah. Nice insightful comment to setup a smooth and seamless segue to advertise a product of dubious merit.

You are a piece of crap. That you would even consider using a blog report like this serious and sad one about Westmoreland to advertise your crappy product which has been CLINICALLY PROVED NOT TO WORK is reprehensible. You are a disgusting piece of s**t, your product is fraudulant. I hope you get hit by a bus.

I too wish this kid all the best, although I dislike the so called ” nation” (note lower case) When a 19 year old life is at stake , all that other stuff is put aside. I read where this type of operation is very touchy, so God bless him , and keep him well. We should all pray for his complete recovery.

I agree , this guy must be in another world. Baseball isn’t shit when a 19 year old kids life is a stake.
