September 2, 200917 yr He didn't know Rabb was being sarcastic, so he answered his question. And that is a big ass list. I think Rab's point was basically to laugh at him for saying that a pitcher with Tommy John should get DFA'd. The list just made him look even dumber b/c there are plenty of guys on that list who have had successful careers after Tommy John. Well, the guy who thought we should DFA Trahern (or not keep him around, whatever) and the guy supplying the list are two different people, so I think it was proving the first guy wrong, not the guy who supplied the list.

In that case...WHOOPS!
September 2, 200917 yr Good to hear the surgeries went well, let him know we're rooting for him to do well in rehab and wish him the best. So he's expected to basically miss all of '10 now? And there's always going to be a h2r09 in a fan base so I wouldn't really pay any credence to what he has to say, he doesn't speak for us as a whole. Yeah Nny, he will miss all of 2010. I could see him getting a few innings in the minors just to see what he could do but I am hoping the Marlins will give him the full year to rehab. It's not just TJ he is recovering from, he also has the flexor tendon. When he went to Alabama he was hoping to just have the Flexor Tendon surgery because it is only a 4 month rehab. From what Andrews told him he willl do the TJ rehab which will also rehab his FT. Im know Dallas will work hard to come back 100%. From what Ive read over 85% come back from this surgery just as good as they were. Some even come back stronger. We shall see. Im thankful for fans like you and Erick. Guys who see the big picture Bro, I'll go even farther, I am hoping he comes back and strong, not just for the Florida Marlins, but mostly for himself. Let him know that there are some fans here that care that he is just back to normal, even if he doesn't play ball ever again. His health is more important than if he ever throws a baseball again.

Thanks. I talked to his dad and girlfriend today. He is was in a lot of pain yesterday after surgery but felt much better today. He has flown back to Florida for rehab. I think the toughest part for him will be having to stay in Florida the entire offseason. He is a hard worker and will work his butt off to get back.
