Goodbye Tommy John, My Old Friend

Dear reader, please join with me in knocking on wood before we continue. Toss some salt over your shoulder. Give a quick prayer to the Baseball Gods.

Now that you've done that, let's take a look at something that @euqubud brought to my attention yesterday:

Now, part of this is due to a technicality. Our good ol' friend Charlie Furbush hasn't appeared this year due to tightness in his shoulder, and he had TJ back when he was in the minors in 2008.

But! It's still meaningful that the M's have used zero pitchers with Tommy John.
