Depressing news update #1- Zach Duke

So, yesterday Zach Duke went to Allegheny General and had that fun test done where they shoot his arm up with dye and if any of the dye leaks, there's a ligament tear and he needs TJ surgery. And the fine doctors at AGH told the Duke that he was fine and his ligament isn't torn and he doesn't need surgery. And Duke seemed OK with that for a bit. And then Duke decided that wasnt good enough for him, so he's going to see Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham for a second opinion.

Duke says he's being cautious, but part of me thinks back to Mike Gonzalez, his clean arthogram last fall, and his TJ surgery this year. I don't know anything about the test or how accurate it is, or even if Gonzo's injury last fall is related to his injury this year. Tom Gorzelanny did have the same test at the same time as Gonzo and he seems to be fine. Maybe Duke is just being safe. Or maybe he thinks there's something seriously wrong with his arm. I suppose we'll find out.
