Thought I read that he could be back soon.

Can he hit with RiSP?

Latz Throws from Elevated Surface

I hope he gets back soon but we don't need pitchers we need hitters

Per Doug Thompson, he said earlier today on 104.5 that he has been dominant and hoping he comes back late April early May. Guessing he will see the bullpen, so hoping he can bridge the gap from starter to Gilbert.

Heard he has mastered the eephus and gyro.

I can't find exact article, but I think Advocate reported last week that he threw from mound for first time

Close. He threw from a raised surface that was not the correct distance away from the plate according to Mainieri. What that means, your guess is as good as mine.

He has NOT been dominant. He hasn't even pitched yet. It was only last week that he pitched from an elevated surface for the first time since his surgery.

I thought I remembered the report being that he wasn't even pitching...just throwing.

Mid April seems to be a pipe dream. And, whenever he does pitch, the thought that he is going to immediately have his velocity back is unlikely. And, of course, he isn't going to be sharp.

You misunderstood Thompson. He said Latz "has been dormant and hoping he comes back late April early May."

Latz is a perennial?

Why do you people feel the need to trash the team you're supposed to be a fan of? Where did you play college ball at?
