Nationals | SP Stephen Strasburg visits Dr. Lewis Yocum

Washington NationalsWashington Nationals SP Stephen Strasburg saw Dr. Lewis Yocum today to get a second opinion on his right elbow.  It doesn’t seem to be a matter of “if”, but “when” the surgery will happen.

Our Instinct:  This is the point in these stories that I love to pull out a flash back to when I told you so, but in this case it wasn’t me that told you so.  Oh, no, it was our Minor League expert Tom Belmont who pointed it out in his Prospect Instinct: Stephen Strasburg article back in February.  ”He’s a once in a generation talent. How long he can showcase that talent will be up to the doctors, not up to him.”  I really hate when he’s right (which is a lot), there will be no living with him now.
