The 8th annual Tommy John Surgery Contest

[Adrian's Dome]

Rules, from past TJS contests:
 
-You can't pick someone that's already been picked.
-The player has to be on a MLB active roster during the regular season (if they're in the minors or they get the surgery in ST it doesn't count.)
-Put your choice in bold.

Staz going for the power play, trying to end this thing before it begins. Got to hope he grinds out a start or two in the regular season.

Tim Lincecum

 

[Average Reds]

Kelvin Herrera
 
Dude throws harder than Chapman.  (Sometimes.)  That can't last.

 

[BoSox Rule]

Felix Hernandez

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

I never even come close to winning this thing... as in no one I've ever selected has had TJ surgery to this day.  So I'm picking John Lackey and hoping that my streak continues and that his recovery continues to hold up.
