Anyone have the latest on Herndon. Will he be back this year. He is on the roster. FlamesNation speculate he may come back in April. Better late than never but sure would like to see him return next year with Bean, Trevellian et al.

Tommy John is a one year minimum I believe so he should return during conference play if that timetable holds

Any word on Herdron?

Personally, I would like to see him come back next year.

Its an interesting conundrum to be in. while I do think he would be good to have for the stretch run, the recovery time frame is up to 18 months from TJ if I remember correctly so having him for a full season healthy in 2016 with a chance to improve his stock...Im glad this is his (Carson's) decision because I would hate to have that decision to make

I would be interested to know where he stands academically. If he is on course to graduate this year, then if the doctors clear him and his arm feels good, I see no reason for him to come back and delay his professional career another year. All he would have to do this year is prove his arm is sound and he will be drafted.

You know ive thought for a couple years now that he might be an exceptional closer. He has the gas to do it and hes effectively wild. I know you dont get the same amount of innings from him but i think he could be nasty in 1 to 2 inning stints when he can let it fly.

This is certainly good to see!

Pilots are next step in recovery for Liberty's Carson Herndon

By Tommy Hamzik

Carson Herndon remembers the date without hesitation.

It was April 5, 2014, and Liberty University's baseball team was hosting VMI. Herndon was pitching in the fifth inning when he tore his ulnar collateral ligament.

Less than three weeks later, Herndon underwent Tommy John surgery. He remembers that date, too — April 25.

"You don't forget things like that," he said.

The next date Herndon is likely to remember is May 27, 2015.
