Another Angels pitcher undergoes Tommy John surgery:
Los Angeles Angels lefthander John Lamb will have Tommy John surgery, the team announced Saturday.
Lamb becomes the fourth pitcher on the squad this season to have the season-ending surgery for a torn ulnar collateral ligament. Dr. Neal ElAttrache will perform the surgery in Los Angeles.
Two other players, Jake Jewell and Zack Cozart also underwent season ending surgery.
If you are a baseball team, do you look at what the Angels and Mets do with their players and then do the opposite? I understand that injuries are tough to predict, but during the last few seasons these teams appear to have an inordinate number of players on the disabled list.
A few years ago they Yankees switched their training program, I forget the details, and had a rash of early season injuries. That experiment did not last long. Could have been coincidence, but they went back to their old style with success.
