How does a pitcher suffer from dead arm so early in Spring Training? Seems more likely to me that he has some other injury. Sorry to the Tigers fans, and to my fantasy baseball league minor league squad

Geez. That's something you never like to hear even in September when it's understandable for young pitchers to reach their end. You might be right, he could have something else wrong.

Sounds like it could be a trend....

Ruh-Roh. Seems like these scenarios always end on Dr. James Andrews operating table

But you'd have to have balls of steel to sink any significant cash into him at this point



(Or just bought $50 worth of value boxes and will flip them for $4500 and have more money than you know what to do with! Sorry, jealousy reared it's ugly head again)

Ha, yea I did. Talk about something to laugh at. Certainly not the best news, but also sounds like he will still get his chance.

They say it's his shoulder not his elbow. Also the Detroit papers are saying he was training too hard prior to spring training trying to make the last spot in the rotation.

Only time will tell though.
