Too much $$ and fame at stake to throw caution to the wind.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-59016282659950485252014-12-05T20:56:31.970-05:002014-12-05T20:56:31.970-05:00Who would want to go through life hoping to be wro...Who would want to go through life hoping to be wrong? I sure wouldn't. But a pessimist who wants to be right is not hoping his team, or his life, is successful.<br /><br />But that aside, why should Harvey's post-surgery season be any worse than anyone else's? Especially when he'll have 17 months of rehab before returning, instead of the usual 12-14 months others have had.<br /><br />Could it happen? Sure. But is it likely? I see no reason to expect it.Bill Metsiacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-89983886966898420622014-12-05T14:00:17.796-05:002014-12-05T14:00:17.796-05:00I agree Reese, and I warn that Harvey may be his w...I agree Reese, and I warn that Harvey may be his worse enemy here and could easily reinjure himself by overthrowingMack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-10618176709742756602014-12-05T13:53:45.214-05:002014-12-05T13:53:45.214-05:00Pessimists go through life continually pleasantly ...Pessimists go through life continually pleasantly surprised when they are wrong. Optimists go through life continually disappointed when they are wrong. <br /><br />I think Harvey will take 2 steps backwards and need until at least August to approximate the kind of pitcher he was in 2013. He has to learn how to pitch, not throw. Obviously the hard stuff took its toll on his arm. <br /><br />He'll be Harvey again eeventually but to expect him to step in with Cy Young worthy performance on opening day is unrealistic. Expect some rough patches for awhile first.

He is just one of several spots on the team that should improve over 2014 and add 10-15 more wins.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
