Some of you guys must have missed the article from 'Collegiate Baseball' a couple months ago that was discussed on these boards. The article indicated that medical doctors, specifically those who perform Tommy John surgeries, recommend that teenagers, especially pitchers, take 2-3 months off of throwing during the off-season. I seem to recall most of the members who post on here ignoring that recommendation while writing their posts. I think that in general, even when we solicit opinions, we are looking for opinions that support our own ways of thinking......I have been guilty of that myself.
