He can't help the team right now so they might as well shut him down. Honestly he may need a few months before he's ready to begin rehab.

It was a striking visual. I'm not sophisticated enough to judge their analysis, but you could imagine how the change would affect his delivery and the much discussed released point. Sure hope Eiland is on top of this one. Caught that. It was a striking visual.

Last year he was standing up straight, his left knee went up past his belt, and he had his hands close to his body. This year his posture looks like an "s", his left leg goes nowhere near his belt, and his hands are loose. (I may have reversed the hands positions, btw.) What this means, the reporters said, is that his ball doesn't come down at the batter. It's coming in on a more horizontal plane. "Negates the advantage of the raised mound," said one. The speculated the reason his posture has changed is either because he is protecting his bad foot, or it's still bad. Looking at it, I thought his back might be hurting. If you catch it, it's pretty convincing when you see the difference in the photos. MLB network had photos of Wang last April and this in his windup.
