Wainwright Done For The Year

What a big blow for the Cardinals:


Goes to show you how quickly an injury can come out of no where and change the whole complexion of a teams season. A couple questions:

1) Wainwright has thrown the most innings the last 2 years of any National League pitcher (463 innings) and that is even while being shut down last September due to "arm soreness". Dave Duncan, the Cardinals pitching coach, seems to get a lot favorable press for his coaching ability, do we start blaming him for overuse?

2) I gotta think the arm soreness last year was the start of this injury, why has it taken so long to come out? Why wait to the start of spring training for this to come to a head?

I wish Wainwright good luck with the surgery and recovery. At this point, they seem to have this injury / medical procedure down and guys come back strong afterwards.

The Cardinals upgraded their offense in the off season, now what to do about losing their number 1 starter?
