Tom Verducci: Hudson's injury latest sign of tough year for young pitchers
The news was terrible for Arizona on pitcher Daniel Hudson: After a breakout season in 2011, Hudson needs Tommy John surgery. He never was right this season, pitching to a 7.35 ERA in nine starts and plagued by shoulder trouble before the elbow blew. Pitchers break down and no one can know for certain why, but Hudson's blowout adds to an awful track record for the 14 young pitchers I tagged with a red flag before the season because of their increased innings workload last year.
