The Odds of Matt Harvey Breaking Down (from FanGraphs and others)

Great piece on FanGraphs about how there were no glaring red flags around Matt Harvey's UCL tear. CBS Sports also has a great piece that points out:

"Harvey has a classic workhorse build -- listed at 6-feet-4 and 225 pounds on the team's official site -- that makes you think he'll log 200-plus innings year after year, but he still got hurt. The human body is a jerk like that. Smooth mechanics, big frame, controlled workload ... it doesn't matter. Sometimes pitchers get hurt and there's nothing anyone can do about it."

Will Carroll has a great summary on Harvey's injury. Also, more from Ted Berg and Howard Megdal on how there was nothing the Mets could do to avoid Matt Harvey's injury. All great pieces worth reading.
