If it's Tommy John, it's normally 12-18 months. He'll be ready to pitch again in 2012 and by the all-star break, he'll be rounding into form. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 07:56 16
- It's entirely possible he's pitching at the end of next year. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:03 14
  - I wouldn't rush it though if I was the Nats. Does anyone expect them to be competing next year? No. So leave him on the bench until Opening Day 2012 - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 08:06 13
    - I think if he can pitch at the end of the year, they should pitch him. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:14
    - eventually you kinda have to let him pitch though, you can't save him for the playoffs -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:08 11
      - Especially since it's the Nats. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 08:09 4
        
        I didn't actually mean "playoffs"; replace that with forever. He can't end up being 30 and have pitched only 100 innings a year - Beaker Aug 27, 08:22 3
        
        No, they were treating him as a 22 year old pitcher with a prior career high of 120 innings or so - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:27 1
        
        I like the way the Rangers have been doing it *shrug* -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:30
        
        I see where Dibble was coming from earlier in the week, only without all the crazy -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:23
      - What playoffs...they'll likely still be 20 games out next season. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:09 5
        
        It might not be rush back. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:18
        
        does his injury time count against his 3 year contract? -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:11 3
        
        You mean in regards to his arb clock? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:20 1
        
        The 15 and 60 day DLs do count towards service time. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 08:39
        
        He'll still get paid and he'll still be under their control thru 2015 or 2016. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:16
- I wouldn't go up there without kelvar. - Mel Profit Aug 27, 07:57
