Dodgers reach deal with Tsao
Oft-injured righty gets fresh start in Los Angeles
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com

LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers have acquired a right-handed counterpart to
left-hander Hong-Chih Kuo.
O
n Wednesday, they reached agreement with Chin-hui Tsao, like Kuo,
a native of Taiwan who signed for a whopping bonus only to have his
career derailed by multiple injuries.

Tsao, once the top prospect in the Colorado farm system, was non-tendered
by the Rockies after missing the entire 2006 season and most of 2005
with shoulder labrum and rotator cuff problems. He underwent arthroscopic
surgery in May 2005 and hasn't pitched in a regular-season game since.

Tsao opened the 2005 season on the disabled list, was activated long
enough to convert three of his four career saves, then was disabled
and never returned. He has a 5.80 ERA in parts of three Major League
seasons.

He was signed in 1999 to a $2.2 million bonus and underwent Tommy John
elbow reconstruction in 2001. Finally healthy in 2003, he spent half
of a season dominating in Double-A, then was promoted to the Major
Leagues, where he made eight starts. His shoulder problems surfaced
the next spring, limiting him to 9 1/3 Major League innings in 2004.

In seven professional seasons, Tsao has 63 2/3 Major League innings.
Kuo, who has battled back from two Tommy John operations, has 65 Major
League innings in the same seven years.
