Clotted Season

Jeremy Bonderman underwent a procedure to fix a blood clot and will likely miss the rest of the season. Let's hope he has a quick recovery.

There have been a number of cases like this in the last decade, Bonderman's teammate Kenny Rogers coming to mind most recently, but Kip Wells as well. I wonder how many pitchers had career end prior to the ability to detect this condition?

I think the question is: What are these guys taking that is causing the blood clots?

J.R. Richard comes to mind. But that was some 28 years ago I think.

I'm with sabernar. This probably isn't a coincidence; it's most likely due to some substance these pitchers are taking. Blood clots are generally very rare in healthy young people.
