I guess we can hold off on any rumors of Adrian Gonzalez getting traded this offseason, with the news, from NBC Sports Aaron Gleeman, that he may not swing a bat for 4-5 months after having shoulder surgery recently:
Three weeks ago Gonzalez had surgery to "clean up" his right shoulder after playing through pain for much of the season. Initially the Padres said he’d be fully healthy in time for spring training, but yesterday Gonzalez revealed he may not be cleared to swing a bat for 4-5 months.
This news will certainly affect his fantasy value heading into 2011 drafts.
