#22 Henry Sosa. RHP. BD: 07-28-1985. 6'2", 195 lbs.
2009 Stats: AA- 6-0, 2.36, 72.1 IP, 25 BB, 44 K's.
Henry Sosa is becoming somewhat of an enigma with a series of injuries threatening to derail a most promising career. Sosa was putting up a good season in AA, albeit one with uninspiring secondary stats when it was prematurely ended by another injury, this time a torn right shoulder muscle. Coming on the heels of a torn patellar tendon and a torn pectoral muscle, you have to start wondering if Sosa doesn't just have poor protoplasm, like Kurt Ainsworth. While none of the individual injuries is career threatening by itself, the accumulation might well be. Sosa would undoubtedly be ranked a lot higher were it not for last season's injury, but the potential ceiling keeps him from dropping out of sight completely. Not sure if he'll pitch in AA or AAA in 2010. I expect him to move to the bullpen either way. It would seem that he must both pitch well and avoid another injury to keep his career alive, but if he can accomplish both, he should move up in next year's list.

It's amazing he hasn't been moved to the pen yet. Once he does, I think he'll be a fast riser.
