Maybe I'm drinking Blue Kool Aid here but I think Jason Schmidt is on track in his rehab. Consider the major surgery he underwent and that he's into his first rehab games and it's not surprising that he's in the high 80s. My understanding is that the Dodgers are asking him to hold it back to around 75% not to let it rip. That should indicate that he is capable of throwing in the 93-94 range but needs to build up his arm and shoulder strength.
Unless therre's something we don't know, which is always a possibility, this seems to be far from a lost cause. And I would love to see him stabilize that 5th spot in the rotation, which would also take some of the pressure off Brad Penny and Derek Lowe.
