Its an unfortunate break for Giolito. Looks like UCLA might be getting another top pitching prospect next fall!

What is his college commitment? With the new draft rules he won't be able to slide and still get a huge paycheck.

Navin, Giolito has a ton of upside. I gave a small scouting report on him about a week ago here: http://www.baseballamerica.com.....e- digits/

[...] This is a bummer. It stinks for fans of the game, it stinks for the chief decision-makers of teams at the top of the draft (if nothing else there’s now one less potential star to push your guy down the board), it stinks for the area guys who haven’t dragged themselves to see Harvard-Westlake yet (I have a friend in this current position…yeah, he’s not great at his job), and, above all else, it stinks for Giolito.

Until he gets an MRI with contrast, its speculation. Chances are with his velocity it will have tear. Rehab wont work, maybe PRP injections at this point. My son had TJ surgery while pitching in the pac-10. Not the end of the world, but emotionally will be harder than the physical side of the recovery.

Would it be better if he would just have his tommy john surgery now? Is this 6-10 weeks no big deal or is he only delaying the inevitable?
Any chance that he'd now fall to the end of round 1? I'd love to see the Brewers get him with one of their picks…
