Even that first month, I thought, 'I don't know if this going to work out,'" Ray said at Rogers Centre on Tuesday before the Blue Jays wrapped up their homestand against the Indians. "Your whole life wanting to be here, to do this, you come to the realization it might not happen."
The shoulder problem began in 2006 in Dunedin in what was supposed to be Ray's first full professional season.
"I did it really early on, right out of Spring Training," he said, "and we kept thinking it was just tendinitis. We'd do a throwing program and we'd come back, and within two weeks, it would come back again. We did that twice and finally did the MRI [exam] and they found it."
The Blue Jay's GM told the Globe and Mail Ray has handled the promotion well:
"In fairness … they're just not ready to be here," Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi said. "We're kind of force-feeding them and they're handling it well so far."
