The 9th Annual Tommy John Surgery Contest

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

I'll take Koji Uehara, thereby guaranteeing him the ability to close for us until Indiana Jones shows up to drink from his Gatorade bottle.

Props to Wingack.  Not sure if this is the winner since Josh Edgin is having TJ but....
 
 

Anthony McCarron ‏@AnthonyMcCarron  2m2 minutes ago
Met docs in NY reviewed the MRI taken Saturday on Wheeler's elbow and found torn UCL. He's headed to NY to talk about what's next.

It depends on when he gets surgery, per the rules:
 

-The player has to be on a MLB active roster during the regular season (if they're in the minors or they get the surgery in ST it doesn't count.)
 

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Zach Wheeler likely going to have the TJ sooner rather than later
 
sucks for the Mets fans. seriously. But I guess that is the risk when building around young pitching

Yeah, I know.  I was trying to be nice to Doug Beerabelli. But Doug, you should put your pick in bold so it gets counted.

Ooh so close

 

[soxhop411]

@extrabaggs: Bochy said Cain felt discomfort recently. Not ruled out to start Wednesday but doesnt sound good. Forearm tightness often a precursor to TJ

 

[soxhop411]

@extrabaggs: More bad news for Giants. Cain has forearm tightness, sent for an MRI.

 

[glennhoffmania]

Anyone have Mejia?
 

 
Jenrry Mejia experienced stiffness in the back of his right elbow while warming in the bullpen for a potential save on Opening Day against the Washington Nationals and never entered. Mejia will be examined by team doctor David Altchek and undergo an MRI on Tuesday in New York.
 
Bullpen coach Ricky Bones, who was Mejia's pitching coach at Triple-A Buffalo in 2011 when Mejia suffered a complete tear in the MCL in his right elbow, said Mejia had a similarly painful expression Monday.
 

 

[SoxJox]

Anyone have Mejia?
 

Not on the first page summary, last updated 3/25, and not picked subsequent to that.

 

[glennhoffmania]

@extrabaggs: More bad news for Giants. Cain has forearm tightness, sent for an MRI.

 
So close:
 

An MRI on Cain's tight right forearm revealed a flexor tendon strain but no ligament damage. Cain will take a few days off from throwing but said the injury "doesn't sound like it should be" major.

This is the first year I've participated in this contest.  Is it over once the first player has Tommy John whether anyone picked him or not, or does it go until someone on the list has surgery?
