Nola (elbow) feels 100 percent healthy and is ready for spring training, according to his agent, Joe Longo, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Matt Gelb reports.
It sounds like an October throwing program went well, and Nola will now start his normally planned offseason program. He missed the final two months of the season with sprains and strains of ligaments and tendons in his elbow, and the prescribed treatment was rest. Nola notched a 3.12 ERA in his first 25 MLB starts, but a 9.82 ERA in his last eight before being shut down. If he is indeed fully healthy and can return to form, Nola could be a bargain, as there will likely be a health-related discount on draft day.
