I spoke with Brett for about 45 minutes this afternoon. He's recovering well and is on target for a mid July return. I won't get into the depth of his health issues, however, he is definately over the worst of it and the road ahead looks bright.

We talked about his teams, and are relatively on the same page for what I've done thus far (blowing up his SACD squad).Brett will be easing back into life when he returns, thus I will definately be a part of his teams throughout the season with him, though the plan is for him to take back over most of the day to day operations.

Jim (Opihi), keep Brett's health issues on you prayer board. He told me that meant a lot to him and he's reconnected a bit with his faith over the past 2 months.
