I've been really busy the past few days and haven't been able to keep up with everything. I saw a few posts about Pedey being out and figured he had to get additional surgery or something. However, if it's just inflamation, I can't say I'm really surprised. He's just going to have to get back into it slower than he wants to. I think if they hold him back now, he'll have a better chance to contribute this fall.
I don't see him being a substantial asset for the next few years, but his defense should keep him at least at replacement level and I think they are stuck with his contract for good.
