According to Craig Minervini, Tim Spooneybarger is scheduled to start throwing again on August 3rd, and will reportedly throw live batting practice on August 30th, making it possible for Spooney to come back in September.

if all go smoothly, then yes.

 

Spooney would be a great addition to our bullpen. He wont be gain his control till later though especially him who's a reliever.

Better not to push him this late in the season. Hopefully we will be in a critical stretch.....so unless he can come in and dominate he could end up just being a liability.

At this point I think he is more important for the future than this year, but like PB said if he could dominate I wouldn't complain about him coming back

eeh

 

i'm not sure

 

i want him healthy for next year

If we are in the race, we have to try him

 

guy is nasty.

 

of course, if we are out of it, no need to risk injury

I hope he comes back this year but no reason to rush him.

If we are still in the race and we get spooney and fox back (assuming theyre at least pitching at 90%) that will be the best acquisitions our team will get this year b/c it will change the face of our weakest area...the bullpen
