Chisoxfn Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm interested to see what Edwards can do coming back from surgery. This guy was pretty well thought of by some of the guys in the previous regime when they drafted him. Than again, they aren't the previous regime for nothing.

Coming back from Tommy John I would consider this a successful season and I would expect him to get better next year (as that's what normally happens for TJ recoverer's).
