I haven’t talked to him since Christmas time and everything seemed fine. We all wish him the best and we know that he will be back very soon.

They signed Molina to block Posey when he was the best C prospect in baseball, and they only moved Bengie when Buster forced them to. Never underestimate Sabean’s proclivity for shafting promising kids in favor of overpaid vets.

His shtick might rub some people the wrong way, but make no mistake: he takes baseball seriously. He keeps himself in excellent shape and works his ass off.

Here’s hoping he bounces back…baseball is more fun with a few characters like Wilson in it.

You can’t be “immune” from a physical injury. Tommy John surgery is just the replacement of a ligament in the elbow. You’re just as prone to injuring that new ligament as you were the one you were born with.

Romo or Casilla can cover also

Sucks that it looks like he’s going to be missing a significant amount of time again.

Tell me that any fan of a team with a spare veteran reliever (especially if he has a closing pedigree) isn’t salivating over Belt right now, given Sabean’s history.

I’m not a giant’s fan, but Wilson was always fun to watch on and off the the field. Hope he makes it back, but its always a crap shoot with Tommy john even with all the success stories.

Another guy that has had it twice is Joe Nathan

Xavier Nady had it twice as a position player.

He was money that whole season, pitching more than an inning on several occasions. 48 saves, 1.81era + 10 more saves in the post season will never be forgotten by Giants fans. Hope its not TJ surgery but something is obviously wrong with his velocity and command. Hope he gets better and pitches again. Go Giants!

Once u got it and recovered u can’t get it again.
Just makes us Yankee fans appreciate Mo that much more.

How many pitchers have salvaged careers after a 2nd Tommy John Surgery?
