As Brewers On Deck continues today, the coaches have also met with the media about the upcoming season. Pitching coach Derek Johnson was one of those, and he dropped an interesting piece of information when talking to fans.
Word on the convention floor is that Brewers pitching coach Derek Johnson told fans the team expects Jimmy Nelson back around June.

If that is true, it would represent a recovery time of around nine months for Nelson from his shoulder injury. Considering that his injury was classified as a non-typical labrum injury, a quicker timetable is possible.
