From the first day ordsprog

From the first day he showed up in Spring Training, he looked like he had a lot of confidence and he was determined to show us what he could do and let the cards play out. Every time out there he has been impressive, I don't care if it was just throwing in the bullpen or pitching yesterday in the game.

I had no idea how many I threw. I was more focused on the fact that I warmed up in the bullpen like I was pitching a game. Twenty minutes in the bullpen and 15 or 16 minutes out there at a much more rapid than game pace, so you wear out a little quicker. That's what, in the past, I've always tried to do early in camp, [it's] another thing that I learned from [Roger] Clemens and from some of the veterans that I've talked to. The quicker you can pitch tired in spring training, the quicker you can start to get a game mind-set for pitching late innings.

We've got to see them in the game as Spring Training progresses. We're actually looking to see the hitters [who are] in better shape. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor. Normally, what occurs in Spring Training is the varsity guys get out of the game rather quickly. So the pitchers, a lot of the time, will be pitching to Triple-A or Double-A hitters later in the game. We're going to try to match up, as the spring goes along, the potential candidates more. Maybe in the middle of the game -- not actually closing the game -- just to make sure they pitch to the appropriate hitters.

That's one thing he showed me this year in spring training. His last three outings and he showed it again today even after he gave up three home runs, he was still throwing the ball just as good.

I saw him pitching the last game he pitched in spring training and it was obvious he was right back where he likes to be. I saw him making his pitches, doing his thing. He looked great to me.

The first game (Saturday) we didn't play very well and we still won the game, 5-3. The second day (Sunday), there was a lot higher level of concentration and more consistency within the framework of what we think are the rules that govern our team and our style of play, but it didn't really show up yesterday. Today, it did show up. The two teams really separated themselves. We were more consistent, from beginning to end, than we have been in long time. It's extremely encouraging...It almost looked easy. That's the way it's supposed to look when it's well done.

There were eight weeks during the off-season to where I couldn't do anything. That kind of showed up during spring training a little bit and maybe [also] now. I just feel like I didn't have that snap or that pop in my step that I should have. Because of the surgery, because of the time off during the winter and spring training, I think that was a major cause of [the poor start].

Last year with that pitching staff, we should've gone a little bit further. If they didn't pick up anyone, it would've looked like they don't care. But I know they care. They showed to all of us that they want to win. I really want to see this lineup.

I've seen a tremendous change in the guy. I saw a great work ethic in spring training. I saw a guy that was focused and determined. He has all that potential, and he wants to bring it to the front, and he has been pitching like that.

Their pitching is much improved. I think the pitching is why they are where they are. Turnbow's been unbelievable. He's got confidence going now. When I first saw him, I thought he was just throwing. Right now, he looks to me he's throwing with confidence.

Phil Garner (1949-)

He's been a starter most of his career, but in Chicago, because of the depth in their rotation, he pitched out of the bullpen. He has looked very good in Spring Training. He is in the mix, along with a few other guys, but he continues to impress us.

What was impressive about Chris (in the spring game) is that he looked like he did all spring -- comfortable, patient, a big guy with the ability to accelerate. But he knows we have other good backs and he's going to have to compete.

For me, this is getting me ready for April 3. Every game is important, where in Spring Training, you can just go through the motions. Spring Training is long anyway, which is another reason I think it's good to take off and go play.

Johnny Damon (1973-)

To pitch like that should be a big confidence boost for him. His (bullpen sessions) have been outstanding, and he carried that into the game today. He was very impressive.

I never like to lose a ball game, but the degree of care in spring training isn't the same. You never want to be at the bottom at any point in time.
