Snodgrass'Muff said:I said this to a friend on Facebook who is lamenting the (probable) loss of Nova for the year... This might end up not being terrible for the Yankees long term. The chances that the team was going to stay healthy enough to be a serious contender were always a bit slim. That's just the nature being an older team. For Nova, getting this surgery out of the way early means they should have a good run of healthy years from him from 2016-2020 or so and that means they will be (hopefully for Yankees fans) building around a trio of young, very solid pitchers, making constructing a playoff contending roster a bit easier.

What would happen if you tried to sew up or tighten the partial tear, keeping his natural tendon in place? Is it always better to go for the new tendon?DaveRoberts'Shoes said:These partial UCL tears almost never respond to rest and rehab - have to think a visit to Jimmy isn't too far off

Maybe not Jimmy.
When Kazuhiro Sasaki needed elbow surgery when he was pitching for Seattle, he opted to have it done in Japan.
If I had the choice of waking up from surgery in a hospital full of ignorant foreigners who couldn't understand a word I said, or waking up from surgery in my home country, I'd choose home.
This is only for a very small set of home countries.

So... Nova should have his UCL reconstructed in the Dominican?
Hmmm...

The only tricky thing will be that they won't really have a long man until Nuno is ready to pitch again. Robertson will be activated on Tuesday, and if it's Marshall that goes back down, they'll have to keep their fingers crossed that they get some innings from their next few starters.
Yeah, I don't think he'll last all season either but he did well enough to be given the chance to run with it.cromulence said:You called it - Nuno is the 5th starter. A bit surprised but I'm open to it. I feel like he might have some initial success but not when the league gets a book on him.
