Status: offline 		Tommy Milone's landing spot??

Los Angeles Angels ace Garrett Richards has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and is expected to need Tommy John surgery, a source with knowledge of the situation told Yahoo Sports.

The 27-year-old Richards, one of the hardest-throwing starters in the major leagues, would miss the remainder of the season and not return until the middle of 2017 should he undergo the procedure.

The tear was found Thursday, when the Angels scratched Richards from his scheduled Friday start citing dehydration and fatigue.

Wonder if Ryan actually contacted the Angels before putting Milone on waivers. At worst you get a player to be named later or a little cash out of Arte Moreno.

Andrew Heaney has some damage to the ligament and is hoping to rehab and avoid the same surgery at this time. That's the UCL, so they "hope" he won't need TJ Surgery.

Ties Joe Mauer (the Twins hitting star) in that category for the 2016 season.

He's got us so accepting of it ... I actually hadn't even given it a thought
He literally hits about the same number as a decent-hitting pitcher does.

I used to be impatient too.
There are guys who get it right away
They are special
Not everyones special
Its a process for MOST good players.
Will always remember TK going off one night ... "anyone who calls any player a bust before his 1,000th at-bat ... is a moron"
After that, say what you want about his ability. It is what it is. It takes time.

Or a second-string catcher on a normal ML team.

Status: offline 		Strasburg and the Nats agree to a big extension deal.
Another team who understands ... its just money.

Huge bloated contracts only hurt your team ... if your owner allows that huge bloated contract to hamstring other deals.
And your owner uses it as an excuse to never upgrade again.
If that's the case ... THEN you have a problem.

uh-oh.

Extra drama:

In a move that has drastically altered next winter’s free-agent market, the Nationals have reportedly agreed to a seven-year, $175MM extension with righty Stephen Strasburg.

It's what happens when you don't pitch to him (get that Twins?) in close situations.
