^^the tendinitis issue was there last year too, wasn't it?? he said he could get through it...also, how exactly is this injury dealt with?? even with rest, it could flare up at any time right??

Yes...I think he had this problem last year too. The only treatment that I'm aware of for tendinitis is rest (I'm sure there are strengthening/PT type of activities he can do as well). But really if this didn't go away over the break then it's probably not going to go away.

I wonder if this nagging injury is one of the driving factors into his wish to start instead of relieve. He would have a lot more time to rest that tendon in between starts...

Like I said...we are stuck with this bullpen for awhile and hopefully Mota comes back strong w/o the roids.
