With Sidney Ponson being threatened with the old "sign at a below-market rate or we'll say you're a greedy bastard and trade you" tack, many have asked about my concern for his arm's health. I was as concerned as anyone about the condition of his arm before the season--but the fact is, labrums are a crapshoot and what we don't know about fixing them is greater than what we do know. Ponson has clearly come out the winner on this gamble, but he's at only slightly less risk than he was before the season. In many ways, pitching injured is like flipping a coin over and over; each flip has nothing to do with the preceding flip. Would I want him on my team? Yes. Would I want him signed to a long-term deal? Hmm, depends on the price. Quated from Will Carroll (Baseball Prospectus) --
