yes I am. If you pitch as a starter with a closer mentality, i think he threw is arm out. Thats just my opinion dont have any data on that but he is young and i think he was overthrowing not used to going more than 1 maybe 2 innings. How many did he throw before he blew it out? 40? Just a theory.

Honker, what? Are you suggesting he hurt his arm because he was a starter?

His mechanics are absolutely horrid so I’m going to have to worry. Fegit.

He was a starter for most of his minor league career, and will likely be back in the rotation in 2014. Betcha Nolan and the boys know what they’re doing. Brett Anderson had TJ surgery at 23 and came back nicely at the end of last year. Feliz should be fine, sir, don’tcha worry.

Never should have made him a starter in the 1st place. Keep him in the pen. It’s a shame hes only 24 and already Tj surgery. Betcha Nolan & the boys are 2nd guessing their decision. Wish the kid the best.
