Anyone know his status?

Illini · Jul 16, 2007

I heard a long time ago that 2008 was the earliest he'd be back.

out for this year guaranteed, possible next year

Completely shut down this year and probably all star break of '08

nah.. next season, Tommy John surgery takes at least a year to about 18 months for full recovery.

i think his career is over anyway...he'll comeback and get re-injured, his motion and shoulder throwing is too filthy....

What A Shame

Another Mark Pryor! So many "1 yr wonders" over the yrs, for most the pitching motion is not a natural one. Too much unintended stress. How some i.e. Clemens, Smoltz, Maddux etc. are able to do it yr after yr is amazing. I hold my breath every time Johan goes out.
