Honestly I guess I should be glad it's just bone spurs for Thor (he is denying anything is wrong but he's not one to make excuses, multiple team reports suggest he is hurt) and not Tommy John. But let's get real. He's going to need Tommy John eventually. Maybe not this year. Maybe not next year. But it's going to happen. It happens with virtually every young pitcher in baseball nowadays and it's practically a rite of passage.
I actually have to commend Sandy for using his two first round picks on college starting pitchers this year. They shouldn't take too long to be big league ready. If you're going to build your entire franchise around young pitchers you need to keep stockpiling it because guys can get hurt at a moments notice.
