Dogs on the Shelf

Three prospective Sea Dogs were put on the DL. OF Justin Headley and P Greg Montalbano are out for a couple of months with shoulder injuries, and P Brett Rudrude had Tommy John surgery last fall and will miss all season. Montalbano is a Massachusetts boy who was a 5th round pick way back when, now he's 26 with a lenghty injury history. Headley will be 29 soon and posted a .700 OPS last season. Rudrude had decent peripherals in Sarasota last season (1.27 WHIP, 4.22 ERA, 3.27 K/BB ratio), but also isn't a top prospect.
