1981 - Injury Report
Seattle's enjoyment of their first World Series is short-lived as they got bad news on injured ace Don Gullet. Team doctor Virgil Erayes gave the team the bad news as he reported on bone-chips in Gullet's throwing elbow. Gullet will be out for the remainder of the playoffs and not available until spring training. Don Gullet was the ace of the staff with a 21-8 record and a 3.38 ERA. His spot in the rotation will likely be taken by Alan Wirth (10-9, 5.17). Wirth pitched better in September but has gone 0-4 in his last 7 starts and hasn't earned a win since August 4th.
