With David Price coming back from injury on Monday, how much of an impact will he have?David Price, at the start of spring training, felt some discomfort in his elbow and the Red Sox shut him down for the rest of spring training. Price went to see Dr. James Andrews and the fear from the Red sox organization was that he was going to need Tommy John surgery. Luckily, Price didn't need the surgery, was out for the rest of spring training and has been out for the beginning of the year. Price has been working to come back to the big club yet had two disappointing rehab outings recently. The Red Sox were not looking at the boxscores, all they cared about was how David was felling and if he could command his pitches. The Red Sox felt like Price was ready and made his season debut on Memorial day In Chicago against the White Sox. Price pitched a solid 5 innings and letting up 3 runs.
David Price is going to make a huge impacted now being back with the Red Sox. Price is going make an impact as he's been a very consistent pitcher. The starting pitching for the Red Sox has been better of late but with the return of Price, the pitching is going to be even stronger. He has had his struggles in the playoffs. If you look at his stats the previous 5 years, he has pitched over 170 innings each year. Price isn't the pitcher he was when he won the Cy Young award in 2012. He can be that pitcher and when the Red sox signed him, he was expected to be that guy. He had 17 wins in 2016 which is excellent for a pitcher's first year in Boston. David Price is fully healthy and ready to have another solid season on the mound, one that all of Boston fans are certainly looking forward to.
