Excellent point, as usual. There very well could be a market inefficiency with former TJ pitching prospects. I would like to see some analysis on that tackles the following questions:
1. What is the expected surplus value of pitchers that had TJ vs pitchers that haven't?
2. Are teams under or over valuing either set of pitchers, either in trades or FA contracts?
So...who wants to do the analysis??
The Acuna hype train gets even bigger after today's performance. I'm gonna bet that he's in Atlanta next season.

I think the only place you are going to find value is in the control years plus whatever additional time you can squeeze with an extension. I suppose it might be more expensive for the Braves to sign Kershaw for example as a free agent than the Dodgers might be able to re-sign him, but you can't count on home town discount.
Shelby Miller with an encouraging outing. 3K's in two IP hit 99 on the gun with a whopper number of strikes thrown.
Good for him.

I am trying to figure out how RA Dickey had Tommy John without the benefit of owning ulnar collateral ligament
Time to change your draft strategies...

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Man... let's go get Lawrie. He's not all he was hyped up to be but I'd rather see him here than Garcia
he is league average really. very much worth his price, but I think Adonis is about the same really.. maybe lessor of a defender.
Looks like we'll have to wait a bit to see more of D Peterson... had hand surgery today and is out for a while
