EastCoastNiner Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) They just had an update on 1st and 10 that he has a tear and is most likely going to undergo the surgery. I will provide a link once there is one available. Edited August 27, 2010 by EastCoastNiner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Yeah, I got the ESPN Alert text message. Like Phightins or whoever was saying, I hope he isn't the next Mark Prior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Lol how can you say he is a bust? He is 22 years old with arguably the most raw talent of any pitcher in baseball history. There are plenty of examples of guys who have come back strong from TJ surgery, including Josh Johnson and Chris Carpenter. I do think he needs to slightly alter his delivery, however. Also, the potential is unfortunately there for him to be Mark Prior 2.0, but everybody saw exactly how Dusty Baker and the Cubs ruined him, and with as much as the Nationals have invested in Strasburg, I think they probably learned from the Prior incident and will do as much as it takes to avoid that here. This is is pretty [expletive]ty news for baseball, though, since it will be without one of it's biggest stars for a full season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lkr Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Hopefully this doesn't ruin his career. He is just flat out exciting to watch pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 The one group of people I do not feel sorry for are Nationals "fans". Obviously, this is not including the hardcore fans who have been supporting them and waiting for them to be good since the time they moved to DC. This must be devastating for them. I am talking about the people who don't bother to show up to the park the 4 days of the week Stras is not pitching. To hell with them.
