Lynn Ready to Make Waves

Spending the majority of last season on the shelf following suffering an arm injury, Clones’ reliever Mike Lynn is ready to get back into the swing of things.

As a matter of fact, he’s pretty antsy.

Working hard all offseason, Lynn has put his hard luck rookie campaign behind him and is focused on excelling in ‘09.

“I had surgery in September,” he said. “Some bone spurs and scar tissues in my elbow. It wasn’t a serious surgery, but I did need about six months to rehab it. It feels good to finally be healthy.”

Being used in a seventh inning relief role so far this season, the Louisville-native is happy to have an opportunity to prove himself and has responded marvelously, hurling three scoreless innings in two appearances this season.

With an added confidence and comfort in ‘09, Lynn has set some lofty goals for the team- a NYPL championshp.

“I’m healthy and excited to be back here,” Lynn said. “Brooklyn hasn’t won a championship in a while and it’s more important here than anywhere else in the minors. Playing in front of these fans at home, we want to do our best for them. Winning a championship is something we are shooting for.”
