Where does it say he's already had TJ surgery? All I've seen is that he has a sprained ligament in his elbow.

I like this pick. If one of Meyer, Purke, or Giolito becomes a number one starter, the Nats will have done well.

Just call him LG, and play Snoop's "nothing but a g thing" as his batting music.

They were talking about whether or not Gio Gonzalez had TJ surgery or not.

Giolito has not had it. Maintains it was just a strain, and he's on a throwing program. He'll throw off a mound at some point between now and deadline day, to maximize his potential bonus.

What are the odds he has a career not including TJ? <30% (mindfact)

giolito is by far the most likely of the three to become an ace. although for him and purke it all comes down to health, which is causing me to grow increasingly more skeptical of purke.

Elbow injuries and shoulder injuries are completely different animals.

To avoid confusion, we should call Gio Gonzalez Giovanny for short.

The New Gio's grandfather apparently played George's fiance father on Seinfeld.

Kilgore already cranking out the blog posts.

This. Is. Amazing.

Roy Clark compares Giolito to Roy Halladay in Kilgore's blog.

Stras + Gio + Zmann + Gio2 + Meyer/Purke = 5AcesruKiddingMe?

sadly, he could end up being strasburg's replacement, assuming he's about 3 years away from the majors (maybe 4 if he has TJ).
