While he isn't a Phillie anymore, the news is still sad: while pitching winter ball in the Dominican Republic, Jamie Moyer has suffered another elbow injury. Early reports from Moises Alou, the general manager of Moyer's Domican team, are that the injury could end the career of the 24 year MLB veteran.Given his status as a free agent, Moyer decided to pitch in a winter league to test out his arm and show that he can still pitch in the majors. While it's still early and we don't really know the true extent of his injury, given his age, it's doubtful that Moyer would continue rehabbing if he had a major setback in his comeback attempt.
If his career is indeed over, what a sad way for the Old Man to go. While it was going to be tough seeing him pitch for another team next year, no fan of the Phillies or any team in baseball wanted to see things end like this for a guy like Jamie Moyer.
His career was over 10 years ago.
ReplyDeleteSure, that's why he won 139 games from 2000 to 2010.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,your a jerkoff.Moyer was a great pitcher at 47 and ever threw a complete game
ReplyDeleteHopefully Moyer can play a few more seasons, win his 300th and get in the MLB hall of fame!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many people were at both Phillies World Series parades, but Moyer must've been the only one to be AT the first and IN the second. Hopefully, his arm will let him throw out the first pitch on Opening Day next season.
