Just saw a tweet from Buster Olney - Strasburg is supposedly so far along in his recovery from TJ that he threw ~40 pitches off the mound today while everyone was distracted with Opening Day. Inside Nats sources told him that it's not unrealistic to expect him back at (or immediately after) the All-Star break. Unreal! Adamantium Skeleton!!!

I don't think they would risk it....unless they were actually in competition.

Nice to see him make some great progess though! :)

"Strasburg may or may not reach the majors this season. His recovery so far has been perfect, one Nationals official said before knocking on a wall. If Strasburg continues on the same progression and pace, if he stays close to the schedule Zimmermann blazed last year, he could reappear sometime in September."

It doesn't matter how early or how late he comes back, his shoulder is the next to go due to his poor mechanics.

Why even risk it and take the chance?

I don't understand this logic.

If he is at 100% after the All-Star break why not have a go? Did you want them to wait until he was 150%, 200%, or maybe 300%?

What exactly in his poor mechanics are you referring to?

The problem is that you can pick apart every pitcher in the bigs and find issues with them. And 75% of them have significant issues. That's just the truth of it.

It's the hitch in his swing that concerns the real experts... like myself. :?

Does his age have much to do with his recovery? Most guys who get TJ are not in their 20's--more like their mid-30's--so would that have a factor in recovery time? In Twins Territory we're watching Joe Nathan's recovery from TJ--maybe even closer than we did Francisco Liriano's. Liriano was young when he had TJ, but hasn't been the same dominant pitcher he was before.
