Chris O' Leary had him pegged as a serious injury risk last year and proved, as he does with great consistency, to be correct. <BR/><BR/>You should check out his site here: http://www.chrisoleary.com/ if you're interested in pitching mechanics it is a good place to start.<BR/><BR/>O Leary also accurately predicted injuries for Chris Carpenter, BJ Ryan, Billy Wagner, and many others.<BR/><BR/>Looking at a few google images, McGowan seems (though I can't be sure without high speed video) to have a timing problem and he isn't in the high-cocked position at footstrike which is going to cause problems and shows signs on the Inverted L that O Leary speaks about a lot.<BR/><BR/>BJ Ryan and AJ Burnett both have very serious inverted L's and it's no surprise they have suffered injury problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-22157235662682541452008-09-22T19:29:00.000-04:002008-09-22T19:29:00.000-04:00Really?

His arm action is terrible and has timing problems. <BR/><BR/>If you look at Marcum and Burrnet there mechanics are very similar both of them get their elbow far above the plane of their shoulders.<BR/><BR/>Yes it's true max effort pitchers tend to break down faster mainly due to the violent nature of pitching but they still can stay relatively healthy if they have a good mechanics word to Lincecum. <BR/><BR/>It's unfortunate but many of the Jay's pitchers seem to have mechanical problems except for Casey who I will have to examine further. That short pitcher Tim Collins is next to get injured.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881633343519770518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-6911575247158676942008-09-22T19:21:00.000-04:002008-09-22T19:21:00.000-04:00Well, Kazmir's never been the picture of good heal...Well, Kazmir's never been the picture of good health.Tao of Stiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459135109404905466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-85331128496343960712008-09-22T17:00:00.000-04:002008-09-22T17:00:00.000-04:002 years, by then according to Wilner they will be ...2 years, by then according to Wilner they will be a good team......probably end up 5th and stay in Vegas for the rest of time.<BR/>Something is happening with the Jays pitchers,because the Rays and Sox haven't had this many injuries with their young kids.........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-33223606505698951042008-09-22T16:47:00.000-04:002008-09-22T16:47:00.000-04:00Two years.
