Cincinnati Reds pitcher Eric Milton is undergoing season ending surgery on his elbow on Friday. According to the Associated Press, "It's possible the left-hander will never throw another pitch for the Reds. He can become a free agent when his $25.5 million, three-year contract expires this fall... Milton was 0-4 with a 5.17 ERA in six starts this season. He went on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his left elbow on May 9, the second consecutive year he was hampered by elbow problems. Milton had season-ending surgery to clean out the same elbow last Sept. 22." So is Milton's career in Cincy over?

Milton never should have had a career in Cincinnati. I was against the signing from the start, but they never asked my opinion. Players get to renegotiate their contracts when they have a good year to get more money. Why can't the Reds get money back for him sucking so bad for the last 3 years. Take back $100,000 for every HR he has given up, and every start he has missed. I think they make break even.

I just read that it is more than just cleaning out the elbow again. he will be out as least a year. He is having Tommy John surgery. I never liked him on the Reds, but I wish him luck in his rehab....for some other team.
