At one point in time, Dallas McPherson topped a lot of prospect lists. Not just for the Angels, but in the entire league. Since then, McPherson has been hinder by a back injury and since rehab doesn’t seem to be working, he’ll go under the knife to have it fixed. This story says that under normal circumstances, McPherson could be back in August but there’s also a chance he’s out for the year.
There’s no doubt that the Angels need help at third and if this means fixing a lingering problem, I can’t see much downside from the team’s perspective. From McPherson’s angle, any surgery is scary so I wish him the best in what is hopefully a speedy recovery. Maybe he’ll be back to help the Angels in their 2007 playoff run and hopefully he’s better then ever.
