Any news on Nomar? How close is he?

Any one know or heard about his progress? Should I try to pick him up if he is on the waiver wire?

Believe it or not someone just picked him up in my 14 team non keeper league. He dropped Kaz so was probably no big deal for him but just wondering if he saw an update that made him do this.

I think it's just that Nomar's return has always been stated as 'after the all star break'. That's not getting *that* far off so someone that is looking for a guy to stash while they're dropping someone anyway may look at this as being a good time to stash Nomar.

Jul 1 Garciaparra said he is recovering faster than he expected from surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in his left groin and hopes to return for the final two months of the regular season, the Associated Press reports.

"Physically, I feel pretty good right now," said Garciaparra. The shortstop is taking ground balls and batting practice and doing some light running, but he has difficulty pushing off. He said his strength and stamina are increasing, and hopes to start running the bases next week. Though there is still no precise timetable for his return, it looks like those owners who have held on to Garciaparra this long will be rewarded with some late-season production.
