Well that answers that question.

I feel bad for Tank, his career has just nosedived after looking so promising.

 

As far as recovery and all, I've had this very same operation, though not for a stress fracture (it was a full-on fracture of both the medial and latteral epicondyles as well as a dislocation of my forearm). I have two screws in there holding everything back together.

 

I was in a imbobilzer or sorts that allowed me to bend my elbow, but limited the plane of movement, for around 4 weeks and then was in physical therapy another 2 or 3 weeks. The optomistic recovery time in the article of six weeks sounds about right.

 

I wil ltell you, though, I'm not so sure Tank wil lever bee the same. I lost about 5 degrees of movement from my injury and surgery, and to this day my elbow still "pops" and hurts if I put too much strain on it. I can't imagine what the rigors of professional pitchign would do.

I wonder how long this has been a problem.

He'll probably sue the Marlins for being sent down injured, like Anibal

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic...

Speaking of lefties..

What ever happened to Franklin Gracesqui?

here's hoping he recovers well and one day throws well in a Fish uni.

THIS SUCKS

This does suck. I hope he recovers fast and gets back with the team.

And the reason this team didn't ink Villone to a minor league deal is? (let alone Ohman et. al)

Villone's last stay as a Marlins was a horrible horrible event. I bet that had something to do with it.

Yes, it was. It's still a business, of course, and his numbers against lefties are just so good. But I would never say that your scenario is impossible, and it might even be likely.

While he's under the knife he should go for Tommy John and gain the extra 3 MPH on his fastball! :lol

By the way, Tucker's been put on the DL, as well.

Motherf***!

should have kept rhodes

OR

should have got ohman

I think not signing Rhodes was a big mistake , he did not sign for alot even by our standards, now I suspect we will have trade prospects at the deadline for a comparable pitcher

An effective Rhodes would be huge right now.

Rhodes has been horribly inconsistent in his career, and we can't afford to be saddled with an inconsistent LOOGY for 2 mil a year.
