Tony Romeo, the surgeon who operated on Jake Peavy's shoulder, believes the right-hander is on track in his recovery. "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. "Things are progressing well." 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. "I'm hopeful for 15-20 starts but he may surprise with more," Romeo said.
