August 17, 200521 yr http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...t=.jsp&c_id=fla Spooneybarger's second surgery: Tim Spooneybarger underwent his second Tommy John surgery in two years. Last week, the 25-year-old reliever underwent the ligament replacement surgery in Birmingham, Ala. Acquired from the Braves in November 2002, Spooneybarger initially underwent Tommy John surgery on Sept. 9, 2003. The right-hander has had a tough road back. His latest setback occurred in mid-July during a rehab start for Class A Jupiter. In the first inning that day, he experienced pain in his elbow while on the mound, and was immediately replaced. Normal recovery from Tommy John surgery is 12-18 months. I really feel sorry for this dude.... I seriously thought he would be back by the beginning of next year but I dont think that will be the case.
August 17, 200521 yr wow right now we're looking at maybe 2007 if at all.. hey may never pitch again.
August 17, 200521 yr Wow, that is bad news. I wish him the best. I did seem like something was wrong as his recovery was not going well.
August 17, 200521 yr He's probably done with the Marlins now. 905394[/snapback] i'm afraid so... I wish him luck and hopefully he makes it al the way back
