I wouldn't say that I was confident that he will come all the way back. Just that he has earned a long look and its a bit early to write him off. I've seen worse 'classical' mechanics in the big leagues and found it to be an over-reaction to state that a guy with his upside to be done at his age. Carpenter, Meche (somewhat) the list is long with guys coming back after big-time arm problems. And do really know something is a deathly flaw without having some kind of a fix to suggest? Maybe this guy just burns hot for a few seasons then goes away. Hard to tell. LH Low to mid 90's with a nasty slider is extremely valuable to the M's and I would take a risk on it in our position.
