Means and Wells out for the season. Elbow Surgery.

 

Yeeppppppp. 

[dystopia]

There is no way Means’ TJS was done correctly. Bummer about Wells. I thought he’d just been cleared to start throwing again? 

[interloper]

So that's double TJS for both guys. Pretty brutal.

Price of a trade just went up.

What about that post makes you think of a grown man?

That's quite the accusation.

And why isn't he saying it about Wells, who had TJS before we got him in the Rule 5? I get it, but the double dip happens a good amount.

I believe he was. Then the day when he supposed to start throwing came and went without the report that everything went fine.

That sucks, we'll probably roll with Irvin and Suarez and see Povich at some point.

[Emory Eagle]

Man... they don't even throw hard.  Hope Bradish's arm holds together.  We need more pitching. SPs, RPs, whatever - of course, so does the rest of the league.

Yup...I believe this.   Not confident in Suarez, but fine with Irvin.    At least Suarez will have some time to see if he can be an every 5th day guy for a bit before they start looking into potential trades (or bringing Povich up).

Terrible news.    The O's just went from 10 starters to 8.   Kremer, Povich and McDermott are 6, 7 and 8.

Think that has to do with everyone arms getting too much use before Majors. But that's something that will have to work itself out over time.

If I had to guess the Wells surgery is rather further in the past.

But the truth is, sometimes a properly done replacement ligament just can't hold up to the strain and snaps quickly.

This newfangled UCL replacement with internal brace procedure is supposed to have better outcomes for revisions.  Maybe that's what we'll see with these guys.
