He's progressing nicely at this point. He sounds happy, but there is still no official timetable for when he will return.
I talked to him the other day and he's doing well. He's progressing and he's kind of anxious to get back. We don't have a timetable yet.
Justin probably shortened the time to really establish ourselves by two years because of his contacts and notoriety.
He'll be reevaluated as far as the timetable when Dr. Joyce arrives in camp next week. I won't know until the doc comes in and the swelling goes down.
We had a lot of discussion on our young core group and guys that will need more time in the Minors and guys that we have an interest in pursuing as free agents.
There's nothing new since the last time we talked.
From there, we'd like to get him in the fall league and, if he does well and where he's at stamina-wise, we may even look at the Puerto Rican League just to make up for some of the time that he has not been on the field.
But he improved his release time last year.
Mike would still get time in the field. We are not thinking of doing anything else.
