Re: Strasburg needs Tommy John surgery
Hate to be the one to say it but this looks like Mark Prior all over again.

Re: Strasburg needs Tommy John surgery
Very informative Chris O'Leary article: http://www.chrisoleary.com/projects/Bas ... sburg.html. He predicted this in June 08 from his arm action and says if Strasburg doesn't change his technique he'll look great for a couple years after the TJ, but then will destroy his shoulder and likely be done. To have a long career he needs to change his technique, slow the velocity, and not throw the slider.
Either way, bad day for baseball

It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change
