I’m a Yankees fan, but I’m a baseball fan first. That’s why it’s pretty troubling to hear the news out of Red Sox camp that David Price was scratched from a spring start because of elbow soreness, and now he’s heading to Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion. Losing David Price for an entire season, or even for a decent chunk of time, would certainly be a blow to the sport.
Price—and this is an understatement—has been one of the best pitchers in baseball since he came up with the Rays, and he’s one of the best pitchers of his generation.
