Link: Johan May Miss Season ?

The Bergen Record is making waves this morning/late last night with a report that Johan may be shut down for the season as early asd today.

My Take: Johan may indeed be progressing slowly from the surgery, but in no way would a shut down in Mid-March result in him missing the entire season. The Mets had indicated he would be back late June/early July, but I've said all along that was optimistic. From a Physical Therapists perspective, I've been saying late July/early August, and that time frame is still achievable barring any setbacks. But even just a "Carlos Beltran set-back" (4-5 days off, which doesn't do a whole lot physiologically), would push that time table for a return into August.
