Fantasy Analysis
The goal is for Knapp to be ready to go for spring training. However, that remains a very big question mark. He has been unable to get past shoulder surgery in 2009 and may find it hard to regain his status as a prospect considering how shoulder injuries affect pitchers and tend to linger. Continue to monitor his progress, but this surgery sets his possible major league arrival back by a significant amount of time. (Updated 06/14/2011).
