Fascinating article.

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in CMW ever returning, but a great article none the less.

The remarkable thing about the article is the reduction the Rangers were able to get in shoulder surgeries from 2004 on.  It's little wonder they've been able to crank out more MLB pitchers.  they have fewer break down.  This did not coincide with Ryan's arrival or his belief that pitchers don't  throw enough.  I wonder if Ryan is going to receive credit for something he did not put in place.

sports writers who hate sissy pitchers giving credit to the great Nolan Ryan, nah, can't see it happening
