i agree he was all fastball, but so is little....and now thats gone, what now? because i dont care how good rehab goes, he will still not ever be at the velocity he wants was, thats just how it goes...he'll be more timid as well

Well, you are wrong, that's not how it just goes. In most cases any one that goes through Tommy John surgery usually comes back stronger than they were before they were injured. It's not so much that the surgery makes them stronger, it is the extensive rehab that they go through. Little more than likely will not be back this high school season where he once was, because it is about a 22 month full recovery process. I have even heard of cases where a pitcher will have the surgery done even if he has never had a UCL injury. Little is a tough kid. There is not the first doubt in my mind that he wont fully recover and be back just as strong or stronger. Heck , if your theory was fact , then half of the pitchers in the majors would not be still pitching. I have a good friend that had Tommy John done right out of college, was drafted by the A's in the 9th round, and made the White Sox World Series roster. He has pitched for the White Sox, the Padres, the Mets, and is now in the Reds organization.
