Strasburg is done until about 2012 recovering from Tommy John surgery to fix his busted UCL. No biggie, happens all the time. Tim Hudson came back form it, Kris Medlen will come back from it and Strasburg will do so as well. Some people saw this coming, due to his inverted W delivery. After watching Medlen go down earlier this year, my schadenfreude at watching The Savior go down was greatly diminished. I'd rather see Strasburg out there pitching so the Braves can beat up on him. To get Steven back on track, here's some alternate deliveries he can try, courtesy of Japanese baseball video game 98Koshien.
Now that would bring some real excitement to Strasburg's starts! Topps should resurrect Sportsflics in anticipation...

Why does Japan get all the good games? It's not fair!
that also qualifies as pure, abstract, visual genius! i think an extended stint with cirque du soleil during rehab would guarantee Strasburg's chances of dominating the league with "altenative deliveries" upon his return.
Nice touch with the "David Clyde" label! He's the player I immediately thought of when everyone was anointing Strasburg as king of the universe a few months ago.
