Agreed Droford. Seems like the bottom line is just that with max effort of the throwing motion, ligaments get worn out over time like a tire and need to be replaced.
Two more points concerning the topic:
With this being an issue, why don't we see more of the maddox, glavine, or even buehrle type guys? Are they forgotten about because they don't blow up a radar gun and never get enough coaching to refine their skills? Does a pitcher have to be able to throw 95 mph gas to be effective these days?
It's interesting to see how this is shaping the way rosters are constructed. The cubs are clearly banking on hitting being a market deficiency because they consider it easier to find a guy who throws gas.
