Beachy Likely to Have 2nd Tommy John Surgery

Re-sign Jair Jurrjens. He's a FA, he's only 28. No downside if you offer him minimum.

He'd put up similar numbers to Garcia probably and could be passable.

I think JJ is toast to be honest with you, I hate to say it, I loved JJ but I just don't see him being a viable and capable MLB starter anymore.

One thing I would look at, and it would take him some time to get ready, contact Javy Vasquez and see if he wants to come out of retirement.
 
no one knows how any of these guys will fair after a 2nd TJ, No one has really done well after a 2nd that I know of. I guess with Venters at least we will find out the potential of Medlen and Beachy after a 2nd, but it is not a good thing for sure. And yes it appears we need to make another move towards a starter, as it certainly leaves us with less than great starting pitching and not much ready in the minors. At this point both Medlen and Beachy might be considered non-tenders for 2015.

I would rather approach Roy Halladay than Javy Vasquez.

The Braves have shown interest in Norris in the past, and I really wouldn't count anything out at this point.

What about Ricky Romero?

I was just watching a video yesterday and the Blue Jays and Romero came up and Ken Rosenthal said that Romero was having a great spring in trying to win a job in the Blue Jays rotation. Dude is still very young and he's done great in the past so you know the potential is there even if we haven't seen it in the last couple of years.

Chris Capuano has been pitching for a few years now after having it a 2nd time and he's done just fine.

Halladay barely threw 82 mph before his season ended.

Javy 5 years ago no arm or shoulder problems, was still touching 92-93.

I've been advertising the Vasquez thing since Medlen's injury this past weekend!

Javy Vazquez retired and said the only team he would come out of retirement for to play with is Los Bravos!
 
Two Tommy Johns are difficult to come back from. I think Chris Capuano did it. Soria at Texas has done it. Pretty frustrating...

What options do we have?

Offer him minimum with incentives to see if he can reboot his career If he sucks you release him no problem and make him a recruiter in Curacao for future Braves players.

Mentioned to someone within minutes of Medlen walking off the mound the other day that I'd already be dialing Javy up if I was Wren.
