Isn't it weird?

[mota_madness]

First Skaggs, Then Heaney, Now Richards. Coincidence? Or does this problem lie within the training staff and their approach with young pitchers?

I think it's just crap luck

[Stradling]

In a day and age where we need villains then we will have to blame someone.  I think it is crap luck like ANS said.

Angels had a great stretch of avoiding this for quite some time despite the rise in TJS around MLB, so I'd say it's just shitty luck

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I think it's weird that we find out about these TJ surgeries after Chuck upgrades the messageboard.

Do you have any data besides the fact that the three are on the Angels' roster? Do you think the Angels' training staff approach blows out UCL's in 100 innings flat?

• Skaggs spent significant time in the Diamondbacks system before his injury in his first season on the Angels MLB roster (113 innings pitched with Angels.)
• Heaney is a product of the Marlin's farm system (111.2 innings pitched with Angels.)

Your supposition seems unfounded.

It's the curse of the Napoli. All things that go wrong with this team started with The Big Catorce running him out of town (and the suicide squeeze in 08).

You can't blame those injuries on the medical staff.

But our medical staff still is terrible.

This may be true, I don't follow other clubs closely enough.  If ours is bad then Texas must have the worst, because they had a terrible amount of injuries over the last 3 years.

I would also say that more than likely the knee issue caused the elbow issue.

This is what happens when you trade for young pitchers it seems.

[Troll Daddy]

Dipoto got taken to the cleaners on those trades.

we should never trade for young pitchers ever again.

 

also, why are so many people blaming the medical staff? When I go into the doctor with a hemorrhoid I don't blame him for my condition. it's just wear and tear, man. it happens.
