Carl Crawford says his groin strain that has delayed his comeback slightly is no big deal. He gets it every year. His elbow, however, is kind of a mess, and Crawford says that he?s eventually going to need Tommy John surgery on it. Here?s Crawford on the State of The Ligament:
?Probably at some point, because it?s one of those deals. It is what it is,? Crawford said. ?So probably at some point it?s going to go out on me.?
Asked if he had thought about having surgery before the elbow goes out, Crawford replied:
?Thought about it but at this point if I can play, I think they want me out on the field. So I?m just trying to do everything I can to get back on the field.?
Rehab time for a position player getting TJ surgery is much shorter than a pitcher because, you know, no curveballs. But Crawford admits that he should try to take it easier on throws from the outfield, going for the cutoff man more often. ?He says, however, that it?s likely that he won?t do that because in the heat of the moment you just do what you?re trained to do, and sometimes that means firing for home.
He says he?s close to coming back. And I suppose that means base runners are close to salivating at the thought of running on Crawford?s questionable arm.
