You can't be scared off by TJS when you look at the success rate of the surgery and it seems about half the pitcher are likely to have the procedure sometime anyways. Dude has an electric arm. He's not LOOGY in waiting and the Braves hope he can be a starter.
I'm going off the pre-draft comments that the Braves weren't going to draft anyone with injury issues. I guess that was a smokescreen. I'm not scared off by TJS, I'm just a bit surprised that we're taking a guy not with a possible injury, but with a real injury. We'll see how it turns out. I'm just surprised they paid him slot value more than anything else.
