Strasburg Out 12-18 Months

Washington Nationals rookie phenom Stephen Strasburg will be out 12-18 months after learning today he most likely will need Tommy John surgery.  Strasburg was put on the DL recently after feeling pain in his elbow, and after doctors did a MRI they noticed he has a torn ligament.  I bet the Nationals are kicking themselves in the head after rushing Strasburg up from the minors.  Even though they sold out every game he started, they now won’t sell out another game for 12-18 months.  Hopefully for the Nationals and the game of baseball he can make a speedy recover.  From everything I have read the guy is good guy who works hard so he would be good face for the game.
