… and he tears a ligament while signing his contract.
I was waiting for this to happen
Good. Hopefully he can pitch in August and September when games don’t matter to give him a chance for ’13
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Its a minor league deal, no fooling taking place.
Wasnt last years deal a minor league one as well? Either way, theres no fooling that Young will not stay healthy. If they spent 1 dollar on him its 1 dollar wasted
Poor guy. Young, Much like Webb, is great pitcher that just can’t stay healthy. Tisk Tisk
