Volquez got Dustied!

Edinson Volquez underwent Tommy John surgery Monday morning, according to Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse.

Volquez is likely to miss most of the 2010 season. There's a chance he could return by late August or September, if setbacks are avoided. It's a major hit to the Reds' immediate future. The 26-year-old right-hander was 4-2 this season with a 4.35 ERA and boasts a 24-19 career record.

What kind of pitch count was he on, 150...175?

Clapp and I discussed earlier in the year who our pick was for the next pitcher to get Dustified. Both of us chose Volquez.

I feel sorry for Volquez's sponser on B-R:

"Thanks, Edinson, for giving Reds fans something to root for during our inevitable 70 win 2009 season." Oops.

I'd say there's a pretty good chance Cueto isn't far behind.

Dusty also was instrumental in derailing Harang's once promising career. Very sad.

Giants fans should be pretty concerned about Lincecum. Combine his age, delivery, average number of pitches, etc., etc., etc., and he's a prime candidate for TJ surgery in the near future.

He averages more pitches per start than any pitcher in baseball over the last year -- including Sabathia and Roy Halladay. He threw 138 pitches in a game this season.

Matt Cain is 5th on the list.

I guess Bochy aspires to be the next Dusty...

Bochy ---> Peavey
Fat Bastard is an immensely obese, hardly able to walk (weighing a metric ton) gardener and henchman hailing from Scotland. His extreme size endows Fat Bastard with super-human strength as exhibited by his prowess in the Sumo ring from Goldmember. This makes him a formidable enemy for Austin Powers. Fat Bastard is noted for his foul temper, his frequent flatulence, his vulgar and revolting bad manners and his unusual eating habits, which include taste for Human infants (which he calls "the other other white meat") or anything that looks like a baby, e.g. small people. Fat Bastard has been a regular at Cub games since the early 80's when he tried several times (unsuccessfully) to eat the visiting San Diego Chicken.
