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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

LittleHurt05 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Is it technically "retiring" when you haven't pitched in 4 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 He fell off the map so quickly. From up and comer to beast to done seemingly overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
