It is good news indeed, I just hope he doesn’t push it too much with such high stakes. Happy for Jimmy the recovery is going so well... oh yeah, pretty happy for the fan base also.

I oddly think Jimmy might come back better than before. Nobody in the game works as hard as this guy, he's like a machine. I am wondering if he might show up to spring in much better physical shape along with already throwing.

I’ve thought all along that the best case would be Nelson to have limited availability after the all-star break. More likely he’d be out until September. If he’s in the picture starting in May or June, that’s a game-changer beyond what any high-priced acquisition could bring us. What a story!

If Nelson is way ahead of schedule get this flippin team some help DS!!!!

 

If Nelson can be back in May there's no reason this team should take a step back.

Shoulders are always tricky to predict - the fact he injured it doing something other than throwing has always caused me to be slightly optimistic of him returning on the earlier side of rehab projections.

 

won't know for sure until Spring Training how well he's progressing, and am in the group of hoping he doesn't push it too fast and suffer a setback that could've otherwise been avoided by taking a more cautious approach.

Few guys come back well from labrum or rotator cuff surgeries. Mike Adams is one of the few to come back stronger

Nelson’s was a bankart tear vs a SLAP tear. Much better results for a pitcher with a bankart tear vs a SLAP tear.

 

I thought June was a good guess for him to be back in the rotation.

This is really good news if he comes back earlier. Get a good look at him and what kind of impact he will have down the stretch if we are competing. Better idea of what to do at the deadline regardless.

Awesome news. Sooner he comes back the sooner we can make a thread in the proposals section to see what we can get for him!

The almost sad accuracy of this.

Great news but I'm hesitant to get excited. I worry about shoulder injuries. I'm just waiting for the story that he has a setback and needs to rest it for a few weeks. Seems like it's always a roller coaster.

This is good to hear. It will be interesting to see what they do with the rotation.

 

We have three spots locked with Anderson, Davies and Chacin. Woodruff seems to be pretty much a lock for the fourth slot.You never know what will happen with injuries, but if we're only going into the season figuring we'll only need a starter for a month or two, you'd think they're going to go with someone in-house. My guess is Suter or Hader start the season in the rotation and then move to the bullpen when Nelson is ready.

A couple of Tweets from Adam McCalvy...

 

@AdamMcCalvy: Word on the convention floor is that Brewers pitching coach Derek Johnson told fans the team expects Jimmy Nelson back around June.

@AdamMcCalvy: Jimmy Nelson says all good in his first week-plus of throwing. He’s still reluctant to put a timetable on his possible return to the rotation.

I would guess Johnson is going to be on the very conservative side of any perspective return.

even by being optimistic with june, this still allows the brewers to place nelson on the 60-day disabled list to start the season if a roster spot is needed. nelson would be allowed to make minor league rehab appearances while on the 60-day disabled list.

He came out after he hurt it and pitched another inning. I think 9 months after surgery is about right.

I completely agree on this as well, I think there's a real chance he's back sooner. Especially with his work ethic...
