And at the end of the article...

"The Origin Of The Term
Many people think I coined the term "Inverted W" and criticize me as a result for not using the much simpler term "M". This is a perfectly valid criticism. However, the truth is that I did not coin the term the "Inverted W". Instead, I believe the term "Inverted W" was coined by Paul Nyman and I'm just sticking with his terminology since it's already out there."

The guy in my username went 3-4. I wonder if the Indians will give him a shot in the bigs. Could LaPorta be a AAAA player?

No. He's easily got the talent to play in the bigs.

If not them, then I hope he gets moved to a place that will give him a shot. He has really taken to 1B and just keep hitting.

Another 1-2-3 inning, another K. Three total.

Repeatedly hitting 97-98 on the gun, and if you blink you'll miss an inning - they're that quick.

Strasburg threw over 100 twice, the gun on the scoreboard reads to 99. Great stuff, great frame to throw, horrible inverted W motion which will have him with a very short career. He was already wrapping his arm up by the 4th inning which is a concern.

Most likely not.

Inverted W is what Prior and Bonderman have. The only guy whom has stayed healthy outside of one TJ surgery who has it is Burnett.

Well, first, I don't buy it as some magic indicator of future pitcher arm death. Second, from reading that link you posted, his concern lies with the elbow going above the shoulder, especially well over, but Strasburg seems to stay pretty close to right at shoulder level.
