Marlins young star SP Josh Johnson underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday, thus putting his career on hold. The surgery will keep him out not only the rest of this season, but all of 2008. In fact, Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez made mention that he is basically hoping Johnson is ready for Spring Training 2009.
Not good news for fantasy owners. Yearly leagues can cut him this season and write him off until draft day 2009. We might be seeing the next Kerry Wood-like career beginning, as Johnson has had a tough time staying healthy during his career to this point. If he isn't going to cost you anything, hold onto him in keeper leagues, but if you need to create a roster spot, let this kid go at this point.
