Jake Peavy: Surgeon confident in Jake Peavy's recovery schedule - chicagotribune.com

"His motivation has been exactly in the right spot in that he understands this surgery and his recovery is not for him just to play this year, 2011, but beyond so he can meet expectations of him since he came here,'' Romeo said on the phone from Vail, Colo. "Things are progressing well.''

Romeo considers Peavy a baseball pioneer. There is no precedent for Peavy to follow, no major league pitcher who has returned after similarly tearing the latissimus dorsi in his throwing shoulder. Yet Peavy continues on a prudent path that Romeo expects will lead him toward taking the ball every fifth day sooner rather than later, more often than not.

"I'm hopeful for 15-20 starts but he may surprise with more,'' Romeo said.

Im hoping Peavy is honest in how he feels. I know he is a competitive freak....but he needs to take his time.
