The Next Al Leiter?

Hard throwing left-hander gets traded away from Yankees and gets hurt. Remember the deal that sent Al Leiter to the Jays for Jesse Barfield? I thought that it was a terrible deal at the time. Then he got hurt (some wondered if he was hurt when he was traded). It took Leiter a long time to come back, not pitching regularly until 1993, but the wait was worth it. I certainly hope this doesn't happen to Lilly, and it's just a minor injury.
