This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

keeping him healthy is going to be tough by jt

he's had a variety of injuries over the years; the throwing shoulder might be a recurrence of an injury he had last year as a senior when he missed about 3 weeks after he ran into a teammate during a baserunning drill. But I believe he's had hip and other shoulder injuries as well.

The injury last year might have actually led to him matriculating at ND, as he would have considered signing had he been drafted. If not for his injuries, he might have been. Very talented guy, and a good teammate. I hope that he can stay healthy as he'll be a real asset these next few years.

I'm very concerned about Radek. He's pretty short but he throws really hard, and that doesn't always lead to the best of mechanics.
