Quibbles about "poor mechanics", and where Jered Weaver's elbow is, left aside for a moment...
Supposing that Michael Pineda stays real healthy. How does that affect your view of the high(er) elbow, if at all?
If Pineda's SHOULDER quickly manifests a Mark Prior situation, that will definitely push me a good ways into the O'Leary camp. Because Pineda is a pretty good example of a guy who looks like he's got all health indicators green EXCEPT the controversial elbow position.
Looks like a rare case where we've got the variable pretty well isolated.
