Probably one of the best pitchers of the last decade despite a very short career.

 

his power sinker/forkball/splitter/whatever it was was just filthy. And on top of his game he was bringing it mid 90s and making that off speed pitch that much better.

 

Another guy that had the labrum destroy his career

From what I remember, the latest injury in 2009 wasn't a labrum injury it was a muscular injury. I believe it was a teres major injury. It was the first one I'd heard of that they did surgery on. They did surgery to "loosen" the muscle which never made sense to me. It acts as a stabilizer for internal rotation of the shoulder. So this surgery would seem to contradict that. They had to have a good reason but it always baffled me.

Whoa, implying something?

Not necessarily. Just with the odd tendon injury and the quick rise and fall, it's suspicious. Of course with any player around that time period there is a reasonable doubt.

Would you say that power 2 seamer he threw could play into the destroyed shoulder?

Things like that are always possible. I've just never seen nor heard of doing surgery to loosen a "too tight" teres major. That shouldn't happen to that muscle. That being said pitching does weird things to any shoulder so as I said it's suspicious.
