David Price Undergoes MRI After Elbow Soreness

[Spanky99]

If you were getting surgery and you had the choice of the best doctor to perform the surgery wouldn't you go to him? I know I would. Of course others can perform the surgery.

 

He has an entire clinic of orthopedic surgeons, they all work on patients. I'm sure when it comes down to it, they'd rather he performs it. He's getting pretty long in the tooth and sure is to retire soon, but his clinic is world renowned for athletes.

“I was told that Price is very optimistic, and [manager John] Farrell said the same thing, and Price’s people seem like they’re very optimistic,” said Abraham. “But I’ve heard this before with other guys and then it turns out to be surgery, so I guess we’ll see what happens.”

Wow that title probably pissed off Red Sox fans lol. I'm actually hoping he doesn't need it. I like Davd Price. I hate the Red Sox but I'm not wishing an injury on him. Contract is still incredibly dumb. However the Red Sox have a ton of those.

Clickbait title.

[intrigid]

Yeah, that's a fake news headline. "Tommy John Surgery Not Needed" was added by the author. All that was said in real life was that they're optimistic. People with confirmed stage 4 cancer are optimistic. It's completely meaningless.

 

Literally the only meaningful conclusion to draw from the article is that TJS is not yet 100% confirmed.

Or nobody f***ing knows until Dr Andrews tells him to get it so he can get paid lol

No surgery, will likely be ready around Opening Day based on the rest he's getting:

So the end will be slow and painful, I suppose.

Maybe Price follows a path similar to Tanaka?

Tanaka has a Platelet Rich Plasma Injection and two months of rest near the end of a season after a partially torn UCL - David Price's issue appears to be much less serious. It's likely inflammation/swelling but no tear of the UCL; no structural damage.

 

Of course the way the elbow is constructed isn't all about the ligament. No UCL damage does not mean the player is out of the woods. Lots of players have inflammation, or a forearm strain, and that is a precursor to near elbow death.

Two very different pitchers. Tanaka has better secondaries. Price losing velocity on his fastball will make him very hittable IMO. Will be interesting to see what kind of FB velo Price is getting.
