That’s gutsy

Totally agreed he should have taken the surgery
James McAllister
He would be out until 2017 with surgery, regardless if he does it now or this offseason, so the risk may be worth the potential reward. If he tries to rehab and can’t, having surgery in November would allow him to be ready by the end of Spring Training 2017.

This is what I’m thinking. He will end up missing next year regardless if he has surgery now or August. Might as well see if he can rehab and contribute this year. He also has significant experience and success working out of the pen, so maybe that could be an option down the stretch if he doesn’t have the strength in his shoulder to handle starting.

Even though his doctors said surgery is not an option?

Good luck to Smyly. I hope the arm recovers and the rehab works.
James McAllister
Really hoping he comes back and is effective; keeping Ramirez out of the rotation is important, and I can see Colome being a useful reliever this year before getting stretched out for next season as a starter.
