it's like starting spring all over again, they are saying

It's a torn rotator cuff. Won't throw it all for 3-6 weeks. Almost certainly out to the ASB at the earliest.

Conlin:

The drop from the 96-to-98 mph fastball he powered while a Houston Astro to the 84-to-86 he was flopping up there from Day 1 here represents a yard in what a hitter sees. It is the difference between a swing and a miss and a launch that clatters off a bleacher seat or scatters sunbathing fans on a jammed Bright House Field berm.

No big deal, we were assured. It's the first time Brad has been healthy since he's been with us, was the daily bulletin as his velocity failed to improve and his ERA hovered significantly above the soaring price of a gallon of regular.

Then Lidge revealed he has been bothered by what he called "bicep tendinitis" and was shutting down for a few days. But whenever he used that term, he also referred to some "shoulder" discomfort he had been having from the first day he threw off a mound. That was on Feb. 14, a long time ago in spring-training days.

On March 24, Lidge pitched the ninth inning here against the Twins. He had no velocity and served a long home run. The next day, the bicep tendinitis became the "shoulder" discomfort he had been battling for nearly 6 weeks. Disabled list here he came, MRI results to come in the next few days.

My orthopedic guy, "Deep Labrum," puts it in layman's terms:

"Once again, biceps tendinitis is a marker for a shoulder injury. Net, you do not use your bicep to throw a baseball, unless you try to do so when your shoulder is injured."

Here's the article that goes with that beautiful SI Cover. It's a bit wacky, but so worth the read.

Doesn't that mean he has to pass through waivers? Wasn't he a pretty good prospect or am I confusing him with someone else? Is it possible he's being traded?
