Broxton’s dip

Ken Gurnick of MLB.com tweeted an rather unsurprising update on the condition of Jonathan Broxton’s right elbow this week:

Jonathon Broxton has been shut down with elbow pain, Don Mattingly said.

Gurnick’s tweet was about as rich and informative as the eggatar he uses on twitter.

I guess anyone paying attention saw this coming. Check out Broxton’s velocity, going back to 2007. These values are not cleaned-up for weather or park effects, but the alignment with reality alleviates that problem.

Place your friendly bets on what the MRI results will show.
