Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya underwent surgery Wednesday on his throwing shoulder and will be out until at least the midpoint of the 2008 season, the team announced today in a news release.
The procedure, an AC joint reconstruction, took place at the Scripps Clinic in San Diego. The right-hander was injured moving personal items during the California wildfires, the team said.

Zumaya will rest his shoulder for the next six weeks before he will be able to begin an active rehabilitation program. He is expected to begin a strengthening program in three months, and it is anticipated he will begin a throwing program in four months.
Dave Dombrowski, the Tigers’ president and general manager, will answer questions about Zumaya in a conference call with reporters at 4 p.m. today.
just a bump in the road for the year of the megapowers####!
true, but he was a big piece to the baseball puzzle.just a bump in the road for the year of the megapowers####!
Lots of potential but little to show for it.At least this might get the team moving towards bettering the bullpen.He's a ####### idiot. Seriously.
Yup, now they probably have to try something.Lots of potential but little to show for it.At least this might get the team moving towards bettering the bullpen.He's a ####### idiot. Seriously.
Nope.So no Arod and some bullpen help STATNot only that your an MLB ball player, pay someone to move your stuff"Moving"GH3 came out 4 days ago and now Zumaya is out for the year.. coincidence?
Fuentes didn't look too hot after the All Star break and that's why he lost his job. Could be an optio though depending on cost. A lot of the best relievers available (Rivera, Cordero, Linebrink) are all Type A FAs which means the Tigers would lose their draft pick. Tigers have become a juggernaut on draft day so I'm not sure they'd be willing to do that. Kerry Wood is also an option (not my idea)Fuentes is probably one of the best closers available, and the rockies will be entertaining offers for him. They might go after him.
He also lost his job because he got hurt, but yes he struggled after the break. I don't think he is a type A, but he might be a type B.never mind he is a type A.Fuentes didn't look too hot after the All Star break and that's why he lost his job.

Fuentes had a few bad weeks while pitching hurt but then came back to dominate as a setup man.

Yeah Fuentes sucked it up against the Red Sox, but he had some solid moments against Arizona (except for one game) and Phillies (except for one game). errrrI don't understand his type A ranking to be honest.You must have not watched the playoffs.

Yes, there has been some talk on that topic. From what I have heard Zoom is very immature.Plus many people in the Detroit area claim that Bird Fidrych first hurt his shoulder getting bounced out of a nightclub.Zoom and the Bird may have the same career length.Even if he does come back I highly doubt he will be thowing 102 again.Any legs to the rumors circulating that it was caused by something other than moving boxes?
Yes, Guitar Hero 3 or whatever they are on now.Any legs to the rumors circulating that it was caused by something other than moving boxes?
It was about him and dune buggies or something and most people think it's BS.Yes, Guitar Hero 3 or whatever they are on now.Any legs to the rumors circulating that it was caused by something other than moving boxes?
