Jake Peavy hates to discuss his injuries and equally hates lying to reporters, so the press gets a lot of Jackie Gleason "homina homina homina" answers when asking exactly what is troubling him.
Even in hindsight Friday, Peavy was hesitant to discuss a torn labrum in his left hip that underlay the back spasms that cost him 2 ½ months of the 2015 season, but he acknowledged that "I have some of that stuff going on."
Tim Lincecum chose offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum. Peavy will not divulge how seriously he considered an operation to repair his, saying only that he was able to return to the mound via rehabilitation.
