    Is it bad that I don't even care about the answer to this question?

    Not really, but seems ironic that you'd then feel the urge to post that then. Was just curious to know if anybody had been following his progress since the surgery and how he did in KC.

    I'm just excited to see Medlen back, even if he sucks now.

    No idea about his condition but he got lit up at all levels last year with the Royals.

    Looks like his velocity has been just as high but his control hasn't been quite as good and he's been hit pretty hard

    Wasn't some combination of Teheran/Medlen/Minor/Hanson/Beachy on most of our minds?

    His shoulder blew up like everyone predicted it would. Another case where the Braves should have sold high on him and didn't.

    Even before the injuries. Something happened between the year he came up and the following year.

    I was one of the loudest on the board about he would have injury issues but that didn't happen officially until his 3rd year.

    Maybe it was just the wear he was naturally going to have.

    I'm willing to bet a little research will reveal that shoulder issues started to derail him before he was "officially" injured.
