Report: Neshek to have Tommy John Surgery

"A source close to the situation told me that Pat Neshek will indeed have Tommy John surgery. It will likely take place next week.

Interestingly, the ligament that he partially tore in May looked really good. Unfortunately, he tore the other side of the ligament, right off the bone. I can only imagine the pain and discomfort that must cause.

The doctor told him that he will miss the entire 2009 season, but that he should recover completely. Like I wrote last night, this gives him a full 16 months before Spring Training 2010.

I’m certain that Pat is disappointed with this development, but at the same time, he can now focus on the surgery and a full rehabilitation.

I was also told that “he is bummed he will miss the last year in the Metrodome.”

To Pat and his family, obviously we wish you the best through this time and through the recovery."

I deleted every post regarding supposed death threats and other unsubstantiated rumors that kidk is trying to spread. This thread is about Neshek reportedly going under the knife. Spread your rumors on another site.

On his forum, Pat said he was only posting this news to his real fans, and he didn't want the media getting wind of it yet. But I guess you can't really keep secrets for too long.

either way, i think his delivery may be his downfall..he may have to tinker with it so he doesn't keep hurting himself

I don't see it that way...anyone with any type of delivery can hurt their elbow and need Tommy John surgery. Sometimes its just freak luck.

yeah, but often jerky movements put more strain on elbows etc...maybe if he drops lower it'll relieve pressure

haha kidk. I think those stories are pretty much dead man.

Hate to bring this up but does anybody else feel that the Twins are somewhat to blame for this?

If Pat would have gotten Tommy John when he first got hurt this wouldn't be happening right now and Pat would be nearly half way done with his rehab

JSG1984

see Francisco Liriano...they made him rehab, then they had him pitch for a month, then they shut him done, then he got the surgery.
