We don?t have a ordsprog

We don?t have a true number one guy. We don?t have Derek Roberts, but we have some guys who know how to pitch.

A lot of the Latin players -- the guys who do Winter Ball -- are geared for that. They get some time off and then they pitch. Those guys pitch year-round, doing something, ... He's a strong guy. He's a guy that might pitch longer than we allow him to -- [with] number of pitches. You usually don't see that much of a drop off.

This is an amazing opportunity for me. I would love the chance to pitch against guys like (Derek) Jeter, A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez) and (Ken) Griffey.

Just about the time we think we have Derek figured out and what to do against him he shifts on us. Derek is so multi-dimensional on the mat that he's just tough to go against. Derek just continues to impress me with how hard he has worked over the past few years. At times it seems like Ben can beat anybody in the world but him. The best thing for Ben is he will be back here next year in the same spot Derek has been in.

Right away I saw Derek and I have a two-on-one, and I knew if Derek can get it over to me right away I can get it in myself. I think the puck kind of rolled on Derek, and he had to settle it down, and once he passed it to me I think the goalie kind of read it, so I knew if I hold onto it for a split second and just give it right back Derek would have a pretty good chance on an open net.

Most pitchers have one pitch to strike out batters. Derek has three.

Derek?s been on the hot seat defensively, but it?s not one individual?s job to stop an opponent. We?re collectively supposed to pitch in. He feels right now like he?s on an island.

We pretty much tried everything. We were wild today, guys coming in from the pen. Those guys have a very good lineup and they understand the strike zone. If you only have one pitch, they're going to attack that pitch. Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world.

He's a great competitor, he's fearless. He'll throw any pitch over at any count. You're not going to see a lot of 2-0, 3-1 cookies - he's going to make guys hit his pitch, he's not going to give in to guys.

Depending on the situation, you work to two strikes and attack, but you make him hit your pitch. That's something that the guys are aware of. We want guys to pitch to their strengths.

I think our guys were just anxious. It?s the first day. You want to drive guys in on every pitch and make every pitch a strike. You press a little bit. When they relax it will be a different story.

I got a list of 35 friends and family. Guys like Derek Devine, from out in Oregon, guys like that I can get tickets from.

He's really confident when he pitches against them. That's so much a big part of this game. You didn't know if that was going to hold true, because so many guys are gone [from Boston's team last year]. But it's a tough place to pitch, and he did a heck of a job.

I thought Derek competed very hard at number two even though he lost.

It would be great to get to face just one batter. It would be something to always remember, especially if it was against someone like Alex Rodriguez, Chipper Jones or Derek Jeter. And I'm excited about just getting to see the Rocket pitch from close up.
