This is bad news. Just bad news. I hate to say it, but I don't see 'Zoom Zooms' future is very bright. Two major surgeries already? Might have another Kerry Wood syndrome here.

This ain't much, but perhaps it will temper your mood a tad. I found this remark in the one thread RSS started. It's by a doctor, so it's not some dude blowing smoke up our butts. Here's the remark:
"Joel Zumaya's shoulder problem, the result of moving heavy furniture in the face of the California fires, is a significant injury not normally seen in baseball. It's a football injury due to the traumatic nature, with the best known example being Brian Griese. The time frame given by the Tigers, a return at or near midseason, seems solid. Dr. Neil El Attrache of the Kerlan-Jobe clinic concurs.
'Six to eight months for a return to activity seems reasonable,' he told me. He also held out hope for Tigers fans. 'Velocity normally comes back.'" -- Will Carroll, senior writer for Baseball Prospectus
