I remember doing our first real prospect run-down in 2004 and Jeff was a 2nd round pick from 03 that I was excited to see produce, once he recovered from his shoulder issues.  Um...after 4 years as a .650 hitter with zero power, he hung up the spikes.
Sometimes it doesn't come back.  Ryan Christianson had the same problem IIRC with the shoulder (labrum/rotator issues, among many other things).  Even if he was healthy, Jharmidy would have a lot of work to do, but he isn't, and if what Jay says is true he's not likely to get healthy either.  Rehab only works if you put in the effort.  If you're lazy with your rehab you'll never regain proper function.
I've never been a big DeJesus fan, and he's nowhere near my top 20 either.  I'm with JFrom on this one.  We get big-swinging latin prospects every year.  There are ones with a better chance at an impact coming through than Jharmidy currently has.
