http://stlcardinals.scout.com/2/1050434.html I learned late Tuesday that St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright may have experienced a problem with his elbow while throwing on Monday. I asked Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak, who would not immediately comment. At 9:00 A.M Wednesday, Mo sent me this statement: "Adam Wainwright experienced discomfort in his elbow after throwing on Monday. He is being sent to St. Louis to be evaluated and may seek a second opinion. As of now, it does not appear to be a good situation." Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery seems to be implied. It may be the culmination of problems that initially surfaced late last season. On September 27, it was disclosed that Wainwright had been dealing with right elbow stiffness in his prior two starts. The next day, the soreness and stiffness was labeled as not being serious, and was attributed to Wainwright having slept awkwardly on his arm. After an examination by team physician Dr. George Paletta, it was decided that Wainwright would skip his last start of the season scheduled on Thursday, Sept. 30, due to what was called a right forearm muscle strain. During the Winter Warm-Up in mid-January, Wainwright disclosed he adjusted his weightlifting routine and improved his diet during the off-season. He also noted a fall examination of his elbow indicated no structural problems. Earlier this month, Wainwright told the Post-Dispatch that scar tissue had built up around his previous elbow strains, making his joint sound. He was named the spring training opening day starter, scheduled on February 28. Obviously, now all bets are off. JMo: "禮拜一投完球後Wainy手肘感到不舒服，接下來要回聖路易再檢查看看。目前， 情況好像不怎麼樂觀。" 去年球季末出現的問題可能現在就要爆發了。 -- 如果真的要動TJ，今年還用玩嗎... --
