David Price is Going to See James Andrews. That's a Good Sign.

In every group of friends there is one person who, when mentioned, makes everyone groan in disapproval. Whether it is because they are a Debbie Downer, a one-upper or just a straight up dickhead, the mere thought of interacting with this person is downright awful. I imagine that is what its like when athletes are told they need to see Dr. James Andrews. Has any athlete ever gone to see him and received a positive result? Not that I can think of. That's why this story is so goddamn depressing. No way David Price isn't missing the next year plus. He didn't exactly endear himself to Red Sox fans last season but I had high hopes for him this year. Look what Pretty Ricky did his second year in Boston and Porcello doesn't have half the resume that Price does. Not saying I thought he was going to win the Cy Young, but his first season with the BoSox wasn't nearly as bad as people would have you believe. He won 17 games and had a ton of strikeouts and gave Sox fans a glimpse of what he was possible of doing in the middle months of the season. But after his fourth start he had an ERA over 7, and that paved the way for how he was covered the rest of the season. The fact he was awful in his only post season start didn't help matters any. Regardless, here's hoping that the team is just being cautious with their 217 million dollar pitcher, but when manager John Farrell is giving out "We are concerned," quotes, it looks like we won't be seeing Price again until the 2018 season.
