no problem.

After about 2 months Volquez is going to feel like his arm is in the best shape it's ever been and he'll want to throw, but the key is not to. If he rushes it even a little bit, it is only going to lengthen the process. I was cleared to throw within the year, about 10 months later, but i was not even close to 100% (and actually I feel like I ended up at around 125% when all was said and done) until a year and a half later. It's going to be a long process for him. Bad for the Reds IMO.

I'm battling this right now with a kid who had the surgery in December last year. He still is not at the strength that he needs to be, but because he feels so good, he wants to fire away.
