Horrible News for Westmoreland & Mitchell

Terrible news for SOT and more importantly Mr. Westmoreland.  As he was diagnosed with Cavernous malformation of the brain.

Diagnosis

Cavernous malformations are relatively uncommon, as is the likelihood that they’ll bleed seriously. These vascular malformations typically do not cause any symptoms, but instead are detected on a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan done for unrelated reasons. In other cases, the cavernous malformation may lead to significant bleeding or hemorrhage into the brain tissue, causing weakness, numbness, difficulty in speaking, difficulty in seeing, gait unsteadiness or incoordination. Even the small amount of blood surrounding the cavernoma can cause irritation of the surrounding brain tissue, sometimes causing seizures.

Best of Luck to Mr. Westmoreland and his family for a safe & successful recovery.

We have also learned Jared Mitchell may miss the entire 2010 season with torn tendon.  How does effect the 2010 SOT Draft?  I’ll assume Evil Empire or 101 Wins (new bench coach for the Suffolk Rams) won’t catch wind of this news and predict he’ll be drafted  in the third round.   If by chance these two do some research between now and draft day I can see Mitchell going in the 5th or 6th round.   Thoughts?

    I lean towards late 2nd rd, early 3rd for Mitchell.

    Westmoreland the comeback begins.

    I agree with the 2nd rd for Mitchell. It’s one top prospect Kenny Williams can’t trade.
