    This was in the Wood/Prior era, both of whom I believe had Tommy John surgery.

    I'm not saying the Twins don't have a concern there (is it the types of pitchers they aim for? The coaching? I dunno), but there are other teams out there with the same sorts of problems.

    Maybe it's a larger picture of what pitchers have become? 12 year olds throwing curveballs and sliders and such can't be the best thing.

      That could be it too, I'd like to see stats if there are certain ball clubs where pitchers are having more than others and why that is. I don't pay attention to many teams outside of Minnesota so I'm not sure what other players and clubs have had them.

        And I'd like to see the comparisons on injuries (or rather, what types of injuries) of the non-modern day pitcher who regularly tossed 130 pitches in an outing for the whole season, and today's pitchers who are all on some sort of pitch count (it seems like that, anyway). And of course, the 4-man vs 5-man rotation plays a part in that, too.

                  This win makes me very happy. not only do we avoid the sweep but we finally hit a home run. Longest HR drought since 1993.

                    I'd love to have Grampa Terry back. He was a classic.

                          I was pumped when he finally beat the Tigers as a Twin. I believe it made him the first guy to get a victory over every team.

                            i dont get to see the twins often (didnt tonight either).. but i'm a fan of nick blackburn based on past years' fantasy leagues.. but looking at his stats - he seems to be smoke and mirrors. i think he is a ground ball pitcher? he gets so few K's and his whip isnt great. he might be the worst 6-1 pitcher ever in that regard. how does he do it??

                              I'd ask Greg Maddux. He'd probably be the authority on that style.

                                He is a groundball pitcher. I would say the Twins defense plays a major role in how he does. Also he has had good run support. Not sure on what the stats are compared to other Twins pitchers but my guess is they are higher.
