I certainly don't think it could be a real significant injury because it's hard to believe that somebody can throw 98 mph and have a serious arm problem. So I'm hoping that what Dr. Kremchek told us is right on. He thinks this procedure will clear up the longer-term problem after 50 or 60 pitches.
More Quotes from Jim Hendry:
I don't know who he meant. I clearly wouldn't think that Todd Walker would have any reason to tell you I've never not told him the truth. Whether I'm right or wrong, I've spent 27 years of my life telling players what I felt was the truth at that time. My decisions don't always work out, but they're never done with any deception toward the player.Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

He's been a winner for a long time. He's a gamer. He made 14 starts in a lot of discomfort. He's a risk health-wise, but his makeup and character are good. Even if he helps us the last three, four months of the season, it will be worth the gamble, plus if he clicks, we can look at him for 2007.

A lot of guys older than him have turned their careers around. The talent is still there, the work ethic is good and it was a situation where coming back here and taking a chance, for his sake or ours, to get out of the gate better wasn't worth the risk.

He has a lot of intangibles that are conducive to success. He has the personality and makeup to handle tough spots. He didn't shy away from difficulty during a tough rehab.
