Tanaka to DL. It never ends

[Myjah]

Looks like the AL ROY debate might be settled...

RIP Tanaka. I'd say it's 90% chance he ends up getting TJ in 6 weeks. Won't see him again until 2016.

scott boras is the fucking man


Boras’ agency recently has done its own Tommy John study independent of MLB, studying data since 2004. Among their high-profile clients who have undergone the procedure include Stephen Strasburg, Jose Fernandez and Harvey.

Boras said pitchers generally fall into two groups -- the high-velocity pitchers that reach the majors from ages 19 to 21, and finesse-oriented pitchers who reach the majors around age 25. According to Boras, 18 percent of the first group end up having Tommy John surgery, whereas only 3 percent in that latter group end up requiring the procedure.

As a result, Boras proposed that first group -- whose bodies may not be fully mature -- be capped at 100 to 110 innings a season in the early years, with their workloads increasing at only 10-inning increments per year. Rosters could be expanded beyond 25 players to offset the more limited workloads. And while Boras recognizes that means more expense to teams, he suggested that expense pales in relation to the cost of losing a franchise pitcher for a year-plus to Tommy John rehab.
