Tanaka Placed On DL (Elbow)

[Docwaukee]

I don't know if I have every heard of anyone ever being able to rehab a partially torn UCL.

[ten ocho recon scout]

That sucks, he was pretty unreal.

Hope Kole keeps this up and becomes the easy ROY pick now..

Never heard of Ervin Santana?

Seriously. See this every year with players. Report of a partially torn UCL and that they'll "rehab" it for 6-8 weeks and then see how it is...only to end up having to get TJS in the end. Just feels like they are delaying the inevitable, thus lengthening the recovery time since they're wasting 6+ weeks hoping and praying he can return

[ten ocho recon scout]

Damn, I REALLY wanted us to get this guy, and watching him pitch this year sucked when we didnt. But holy sh*t did we dodge a bullet there.

[bloodbrother]

Never heard of Ervin Santana?

 

He was the only one that stood out for me. Definitely has to be others, but I cna't think of any

 

pretty crazy that he's held up still to, despite relying heavily on the slider

Ever had any type of reconstruction surgery and do the rehab? Believe me, if you have the slightest chance to avoid it you take it.

Every player is different, Cashman said the doctors told him, and they are right, of course. But ask the Los Angeles Dodgers how this plan worked with Chad Billingsley.

 

In September 2012, the Dodgers announced that Billingsley — then a 27-year-old former All-Star with six seasons of at least 10 wins — had a partial U.C.L. tear. Instead of having surgery, he underwent plasma injections and was back on the mound the next April. He started twice, needed Tommy John surgery anyway and has not pitched since. Last month he tore the flexor tendon in his pitching arm.

 

That is the nightmare scenario. The Yankees are far from a hard-luck franchise, but they are now becoming used to such harrowing visions.

He's not a rookie.

Jose Abreu is.

[Hollyw00d]

enjoy that contract, yankees!

ever heard of Jose Abreu?

[YouthofToday]

ESPN Baseball Tonight had an excellent segment on this earlier. Dallas Braden and Keith Law are simply fantastic with their perspectives.

Kudos to ESPN for radically improving on air talent in last year.

[YouthofToday]

Basically the Yankees should never had let him throw so many splitters.

Big loss for MLB. Arguably 2 of the 5 best SP in game are now done due to elbow issues (Jose Fernandez and Tanaka).

"I want to apologize to the Yankees organization, my teammates and our fans for not being able to help during this time. I accept this injury as a challenge, but I promise to do everything I can to overcome this setback and return to the mound as soon as possible." Masahiro Tanaka

 

 

That's impressive.

It's a pretty standard statement for a Japanese player though. Anything short of perfection is worthy of an apology.

still waiting for that WWII apology

[Taylor]

Sucks because he's on my fantasy team.

[OregonLAA]

I totally forgot about all the concerns about all the innings he pitched while he was in Japan. Now I understand why people were worried

[Hollyw00d]

Tanakunna be back til 2016

[Lou]

It's Mr. Roo to you

[stormngt]

You think they are waiting for an apology for Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

I know you meant it as a joke but tens of millions of Japanese died. I am pretty certain they are remorseful.

Don't be so sure, a lot of prominent politicians in Japan deny some of the atrocities they committed in China and other places.
