What happened to Stephens? He pitched one season (2004), had the surgery, and hasn’t thrown an inning since. And of course Pendleton had TJ, he went to Rice.

Not any more J – and neither is Pavano.

Is Mariano Rivera a pitching prospect?

The Yankees minor leagues have been TJS central. No doubt. Just thought I’d add the two notes about the guys listed that I knew about.

Yeah, I should have noted that Cox had his ligament repaired but not replaced. But, it’s still pretty close to TJS. Same underlying issue – just a tweak on the fix.

J.B. Cox didn’t have full-blown TJS. And Horne, if it matters, had his TJS while in college.
