PSL: Gotay looks Bummed Out

…i walked back through the locker room a few minutes ago, and Ruben Gotay was sitting in front of his locker…nobody else was in the room…he looks so dejected…he was hunched over with a protective boot on his ankle, sifting through a small stack of fanmail…

…he looked up at me, and i said, “Damn, man, this sucks, huh?,” to which he slightly smiled and sheepishly said, “Yes.”…he said he expects to get yesterday’s MRI results tomorrow

…i feel bad for the kid…i mean, i hate to say this, but there is a realistic chance we never hear from him again…i mean, he’ll rehab, and by the time he works his way back, life will have moved on for the team…roster spots will have been filled…

…he’s a good hitter…not the best fielder…he could be a good player…hopefully he makes it back
