He bravely ran...bravely, bravely ran.

Maybe he's going to run in Rhode Island. He's established that he's willing to take the public's money for his salary.

David Price is looking rather iffy for the start of this season...maybe the whole season.

The upside is that I don't have to hate myself watching his starts and wanting him to do well. The downside is that the fucker probably won't opt out now. I need Montreal to get a team so I have a handy back-up.

I would love that.

As long they're National League, they'd instantly be my other team. I have a student now who's a Nats fan, so we chatted about the Expos. He got to meet someone who remembers Blue Monday and would still spit at Rick fucking Monday if I got the chance.

The number of pitchers who have gone to Dr. Andrews for a second opinion and not ended up going under the knife is a very small one: http://www.sbnation.com/2017/3/2/147908 ... nd-opinion

Exactly, less a 2nd opinion and more a "how do we do this?"

Ah, so he's going to pitch shittily until late April, go on the DL, then they'll schedule him for TJ in late May.

Let's face it it wouldn't be the first time this strategy was used. I want to say the Yankees followed that on most of their pitchers for the middle 2000s. Maybe not always TJ surgery but some other elbow or shoulder surgery. I think that was Jaret Wright's career in a nutshell.

Tanaka is a rare example of seemingly being ready for the knife, then has come back and pitched well. But I'd bet Olaf's racoon farm that Price will have TJ surgery, but it'll be later in the season now and after pitching poorly.

Tanaka's situation was the flukiest of flukes, and also was caught fluky early right in the start where (retroactively) it's surmized the injury happened. Price's velocity has been down for 2 years. You simply don't have this series of events go like it has without the end result being some sort of long-term structural damage hitting its breaking point. He'd almost literally be the first to just "shake it off" if this works.

Congrats...you guys have your 2011 stubborn-mule Lackey back.
