Padres Pitcher Chris Young is done for the season

PrintTom Krasovic reported last night that Chris Young is not expected to return this season. Towers and the Padres don't want to rush him back.
"When there is no pain, I'll pitch," Young said. "I have been hopeful it would be at some point this year. I didn't expect this to linger like it has. But I can't control that. It's been more frustrating than last year. Last year, there was a set timetable. This is so indefinite and ambiguous. It's been frustrating."
Honestly I started to forget he was even on the team. He's been on the DL since June 15th and been diagnosed with every shoulder ailment possible.
On 8/4 Bud Black said that surgery would be unlikely even though it sounds like it might help.
"Structurally, the rotator cuff looks good, the labrum looks good," Black said. "All of the things that you look for in the shoulder that you look for from a medical standpoint are in place."
"He's got some impingement, he's got some bursitis. I think if you go in there surgically, you can do some things to alleviate that."
Now the Padres have to continue to struggle to put a young team together without the key ingredient... YOUNG!

Cool
Let him heal up and come back strong next year when he can make a difference. He’ll be the anchor of the staff. Not the ace, necessarily, but the only guy who’ll have been around for a few years. We’ll need him. And he’s really smart and talks down to sportswriters, which I love. Get well, CY!
Unapologetic Trevor Hoffman apologist.
Ugh
Shoulder problems….almost any other part of the body you have high hopes for a full recovery but shoulder is like rolling the dice.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Woah Bud
“He’s got some impingement, he’s got some bursitis. I think if you go in there surgically, you can do some things to alleviate that.”
Didn’t know he had such a vocabulary.
"Get on board early," Black said, alluding to, what he feels, is a crop of up-and-coming players.
"I would tell those fans that we're going to play good baseball. We're going to play hard. We're going to have exciting young players..." -Bud Black

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

or
we could come up with a business plan, like a video store. But instead of videos you can rent books. And we can have books on all topics, like vocabulary or sports!
We can make millions!!!!!!!!1
