Two From UTK
A couple from today's UTK:
- Will says Rich Harden's "back strain will keep him out about a month given its severity, but his continued health troubles point to something structural--either he’s doing something wrong or simply cannot hold up under a normal physical workload." Milton Bradley's hip problems are a "classic" cascade injury caused by compensating for his sprained knee.
- Eric Gagne is throwing. That much I understand. It will be played as a major positive by the Dodgers organization--why wouldn’t it be? Gagne, however, is still a major unknown. The second surgery, a minor nerve excision, is making people forget that he never really came back from the 2005 elbow surgery. The minor complication is overshadowing the fact that we don’t know what type of pitcher Gagne will be when he comes back. His velocity was down, he was experimenting with new pitches, and looked hittable. Ten innings isn’t much to go on, especially when bracketed by time lost to injury, but don’t forget that we’ve seen Gagne pitch and that the nerve problem shouldn’t distract you from what you really want to know--is the Game Over guy done? We’ll know soon, but dominance is too much to expect.
