Uh Oh...Jose Fernandez

Did Cy Young have Tommy John surgery?

[LT Profits]

I didn't say it was an "issue" -- I'm saying that, if you're going to compare him to established aces like Darvish and Cueto, I'd like to see a little more dominance in any and all settings, which includes his road starts.

If you want to call him a good, very good or even great pitcher, by all means, go ahead. But if you're going to say he's better than Darvish and Cueto, you have to start nitpicking and judging at a very elite level.

But again, your major knock against him is not even true, take a look at his road numbers last year other than W/L. And I actually see his youth as an advantage as he will only get better (or would have depending on injury), not only maintaining his great start this year but actually improving his numbers, hence my Cy Young prediction And for the record, Cueto is not even in the top 30 in FIP, although he is seventh in xFIP (Great American factor).

looks like it will be tommy john surgery indeed. Its a shame, wouldn't be surprised if he misses all of next season as well.

His road # last year were not that of an elite pitcher. Period. And they were even worse in a small sample size this season.

[LordVodka]

Only hope Marlins had at some decent pitching. This is a real shame.

[Down_Goes Bookie]

Damn that sucks. Hate all these TJs.

[pavyracer]

He is not that good, he will be this year's Jeff Locke. Just like Locke early in the season last year, Teheran's 1.71 ERA does not jive with his 3.83 FIP and 3.75 xFIP. Negative regression is coming.

1.71 ERA is exceptional. Don't be a hater.

[pavyracer]

He's getting a 2nd MRI. That can't be good.

Lol at Teheran being better than Fernandez.

lolololokokolomolololllolol

Read the post again Inspector Gadget. Now that Hernández is out Teheran is the best.

[James D]

Out for year. Brutal

[BigSpoon]

Sad to hear, every start of his was must watch tv. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

[James D]

Agree. He is a special one . Horrible for the league and death for marlins

[jose21_us]

Fuk and I was going to see him start in a few weeks.... Scratch that idea...

[MexicanStallion]

This has to be a record of Tommy Johns in one year. What a blow to the talents who are receiving them.

[EmpireMaker]

If he gets it right away, he might make it back for the second half of next season. Bad break for the Marlins.

[imadegen]

he probably got injured staring at that stupid penetrating grass the marlins have.

[ApricotSinner32]

He's getting a 2nd MRI. That can't be good.

Lol at Teheran being better than Fernandez.

Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that the Marlins anticipate Jose Fernandez needing season-ending elbow surgery.

It had been trending that direction, but this is the first we've heard of a Marlins source conceding that Tommy John surgery is a likely outcome. Fernandez has already undergone a pair of MRIs and a decision about his status should be made soon. The stud young right-hander has put up a 2.44 ERA and 70/13 K/BB ratio in 51 2/3 innings this season.

Oh boy. That sucks. Hopefully he comes back strong next year.

[EmpireMaker]

Marlins have won 64% of Jose Fernandez's starts the last 2 seasons, but only 36% of starts by other pitchers

[TonyTall]

yep tom john surgery. out about 2 years

baseball is retarted

[farmhouse1]

Julio Tehran, johnny cueto, and yu darvish are all studs who haven't gotten TJ surgery YET

[LordVodka]

Friend got a signed jersey from him at a Marlins game. One of the nicest guys out there.

[BigSpoon]

If they trade Stanton away there would be no reason to follow the franchise until JF comes back.

[Mr KLC]

Another pitcher having Tommy John surgery. Jose Cisnero of the Astros. This is totally getting out of hand now.

[6nine]

So whose the pick now LT?

[LT Profits]

Fernandez will learn to throw lefty to come back sooner.

Did anyone point out that Martin Perez is the latest victim?

Martin Perez to undergo Tommy John surgery


Martin Perez (elbow) told Venezuelan publication Lavinotinto that he will undergo Tommy John surgery.

Perez was diagnosed with a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow earlier this week, so surgery considered inevitable. The 23-year-old has yet to schedule a date for surgery, but he's done for the season and figures to miss the early part of 2015, as well.

[yisman]

I think there have been over 30 major leaguers who have undergone Tommy John surgery this year

[TheLock]

If they trade Stanton away there would be no reason to follow the franchise until JF comes back.

Christian Yelich and Steve Cisheck.

Stanton isn't going anywhere in the near future. He's not a free agent next year.
