It happened, the worst case scenario has come to life once again. Angels big-time starter, Garrett Richards, is pondering Tommy John surgery after choosing to avoid it two years ago in hopes of staving off Tommy John. Once again, reality bites the Angels in the behind. What the Angels hoped translated as “willingness to improve their athlete’s health beyond the standard” only turned out to be a desperate attempt to avoid having to shut someone down for a year.
Now it looks as if the Angels are just an avoidance organization. Fears that they would lose out on a year of a talented athlete has turned into a derailing of his career.
