Our super fire baller that helped us get to the World Series in a magical season is still suffering from another of his idiot injuries this past off season. From Guitar Hero tendonitis injuries to forest fire rescue injuries (don't believe this was how), and probably a case of fibromyalgia, this guy may never be the same.
Domrowski says:
"There is not much change," Dombrowski wrote in an e-mail from Lakeland, where he and the Tigers scouts were meeting this week. "Surgery went well and he will be in spring training, continuing his rehab with us. He will begin to toss around the first of March. His time frame remains the same, but since not much has changed since surgery, we will continue to assess as his rehab continues."
I've said it many times that I never expected much from his career. The way he throws, and his decisions don't put a lot of confidence in him being able to stick around very long.
This latest injury is costing him another half a season at least. The Tigers biggest hole at the moment is the bullpen and losing a guy that could be an amazing set up guy, or future closer doesn't help it much. He is on the Matt Anderson path that is for sure. I really don't expect him to ever get himself back to the 100-103 MPH fastball range. If he can't do that he better learn how to throw a damn off speed pitch effectively or he is going to be a career minor leaguer.
Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, Rasheed Wallace, Barry Bonds, and the world of sports.
