Did he have shoulder surgery, and if so, when did he have it? I remember watching him throw 95-97 during the the World Baseball Classic in 2006. I remember thinking that he was going to ruin his arm considering that he had already had shoulder problems. Unless this guy's shoulder is badly damaged, this could turn out well, because he will work hard to re-establish his career and get a better contract in 2009.
