http://www.star-telegram.com/2011/06/08/3138671/tcus-winkler-expects-to-sign-with.html Kyle Winkler will probably choose to remember all the huge games he won throughout his TCU career. Not his last pitch of the 2011 season, which came in the first inning of Sunday's season-ending loss. After battling stress reaction pain in his throwing arm since early May, Winkler has likely pitched his last game as a Horned Frog. The right-handed junior expects to sign with the Arizona Diamondbacks after being selected in the 10th round of the Major League Baseball draft Tuesday. Milwaukee drafted Winkler in the 37th round in 2008, but he decided to attend TCU. "I already passed up the opportunity to play pro ball once, it's really hard to do it again," said Winkler, who did not rule out returning to TCU for his senior season. Winkler was projected to go higher in the draft after a strong start this season. He finished with an 8-2 record and a 1.39 ERA in 90 2/3 innings, despite missing several starts in May because of arm pain. With TCU facing elimination, Winkler told coaches he was fine to pitch five or six innings Sunday, hoping to extend the Frogs' season, even though the draft was the next day. Winkler felt some pain while retiring the first two batters and TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle and trainer Danny Wheat both recognized atypical body language and rushed to the mound. Winkler insisted he was OK, but two pitches later he felt something pop. Winkler awaited MRI results Wednesday and expects no structural damage. "It's been the best years of my life, that's for sure," he said of TCU. "It's a tough decision, even if I get [monetarily] what I want [to sign with Arizona]. It's tough to leave all my friends and coaches and the program that I helped build." -------- 果然如我事前所預料的一般 因為是要長時間復健的傷所以反而不會難簽 anyway，用第十輪選進三明治等級的貨，怎麼看都是大賺 舒服 --
