This was in today's New York Times:

]BURGOS HAS SURGERY The right-hander Ambiorix Burgos had reconstructive elbow surgery Tuesday morning, which all but eliminates him from the team�s plans next season.

Harsh.

I couldn't tell if the sarcasm meter was on in Irish's post.

If not, then yes, quite harsh.

Truthful.

How can that be truthful? Did you see his requiring surgery coming? At the point of the trade?

I don't think anybody deserves anything like a Fuck You for a trade that doesn't work out.

How good are Burgos' pitching mechanics?

I could BS you and tell you I thought they were horrible but really I don't know,I do remember some on the TV side saying his were not the best,but there are probably plenty of pitchers with crap mechanics.

I wonder what the statistical relationship is between below average mechanics and arm trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if it were fairly high.

Considering "below-average mechanics" is about as unquantifiable a quantity as exists in the world, I'd say that stat would be both impossible and irrelevant.

I don't know, but I'd sure appreciate an answer to my questions.

Joe Smith is now on the minor league DL as well...though he should be back.

Bah. Who needs pitching? We can rely on our red-hot offense to carry us. As long as our pitchers don't give up two runs a game, we're okay.
