Yes.
It’s possible they view starting pitching as the riskiest among MLB investments, and Commodity Boy didn’t like risky investments.
But when I saw experienced MLB arms like Lauer, German and Odorizzi going for MiLB contracts, I couldn’t help but wonder why Boston still wasn’t involved…
I have to reply to myself cuz it would let me edit, but also: the prevailing wisdom the past half century for adolescent ballplayers was a strict avoidance of snapping off curveballs... at least, until their ligaments and tendons were full-grown -- which may have been an old coach's tale (like red meat as a healthy source of protein... or rap "singers").
Probably - remember reading some high school pitchers were getting it done, just to add velo... but not everyone comes back better than ever from surgery. I know at least one kid who was never the same after TJ, and his pro career ended shortly after recovery.
There's also only one Doctor Re-attache out there...
Not discrediting what you read, but if someone is performing surgery that a kid doesn't require they should be losing their medical license and should be sued for malpractice.
From my understanding, the surgery itself doesn't make someone strogner and add velocity but rather the extensive training they undertake to recover from the surgery often adds velocity to a lot of guys.
