Harvey To Have Tommy John Surgery, Miss 2014

Matt Harvey has elected to undergo Tommy John surgery that likely will force him to miss the entire 2014 season.
 
Dr. James Andrews will perform the surgery later this month.
 
Harvey had planned to rehab and undergo a throwing program over a six- to eight-week period in order to be able to pitch next season with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
Harvey went 9-5 with a 2.27 ERA in 26 starts this past season for the New York Mets
 

 
Damn

Sucks but must needed am I right? Don't watch baseball, but hearing that they were thinking of trading Wheeler but they shouldn't now?

better now than later. just have to hope he comes back strong.

Trying to just rehab the arm would have been dumb. Good decision to get TJ.

Good, better than having him need it next June. 
 
I just hope that old geezer still has a steady hand.

Stupid question but is it called Tommy John for a player? Or is it a nickname for a body part?

 

[Pugz]

player. he was the first to get it.

It's a shame that we'll have to wait a whole season before seeing this guy back on the mound.
