Garcia has at least 3 rehab starts coming... so that puts him in mid July. McCullers... who knows. Forrest is throwing again, so we may see him around same time as Garcia... he may not be the reincarnation of Oswalt but at least better than Speas, Henley, and Nick Rodriguez
We are 77 games into the year with 85 games left in regular season. The stretch without Jbreu stinking up the roster and clubhouse is a win percentage of 61.2%. @Houstunna we would need to win 53 of the remaining 85 games to get to your goal for the team of 90 wins which would require a winning clip of 62.3%. Pretty much the same as we have played without Jbreu on the roster so if we continue to play well it is doable. If good Framer shows up today and for the rest of the year, fingers crossed, it will go a long way towards getting back over .500 and back in the playoff picture and put the team in position for a deep run in the playoffs. We go nowhere unfortunately if Framer does not pitch up to what he is capable of joining Blanco in leading the team. Anything we get from Verlander will be a bonus. Hunter Brown needs to stay healthy and continue to pitch well. Whoever is in the 5th starter position if they can just pitch well enough to keep us in the game that would be nice. This and if the team continues to add to its latest tend of being able to hit more consistently and scoring more runs.
