I read the report ordsprog

I read the report on him and from last year and winter ball, I think he lost some of his velocity this year in spring training. He needs better command and he needs to avoid what I like to call the big part of the plate.

Getting kicked around as much as I did, you get tired of it. I'm not trying to hit people. But at the same time, hitters were very comfortable facing me last year, much more so last year than any year in the past, obviously. But there's something you can do about that as a pitcher, and you've got to be proactive in doing it. I feel like my command is good enough that I can throw the ball in off the plate and get people off the plate without hurting people.

I'm not waiting on his swing. I take that for granted. The thing is running the bases. He ran better than in spring training and in the last month of last year. At this time last year, he was limping and complaining about the knee. It's much, much better than a year ago, or in spring training.

Absolutely not. I just thought I'd finish up in Double-A this year and call it a season, and then get ready for spring training next year.

It's one of those years. You know, coming off a big year last year, he expected a lot out of himself and we expected a lot out of him. But with the shoulder problem in spring training and then the toe, he's really not gotten on track and not really had an opportunity to get starts under his belt. The command and the consistency haven't been there.

Spring Training doesn't go on the back of your baseball card, but this is one of my plans for the year ... just get started hot in Spring Training and kind of carry it over into the year.

Yeah, we're keeping our eyes on him. I told him: 'You make it harder on yourself. You work out in the winter, you don't have to do it in spring training. Just maintain your workout. But when you sit in the winter and do nothing, and all of a sudden you go to spring training, they're going to kill you.

Because he didn't have a normal Spring Training, we're seeing him catch up. This winter was the first time he hadn't pitched in Winter Ball. So it took him a little while to get going.

He's coming to Spring Training. We will see. I think that given the state of our starting rotation at the end of the year last year, going into Spring Training, everybody is in the mix.

The time of year I get kind of depressed is spring. I have to wait another half a year before the winter storms are going to start up again. ... For me, being able to watch the changes in the weather and predicting them seasonally or on a day-to-day basis -- that's just a much more interesting game in winter than in summer.

I had three terrible starts in the major leagues last year. There is no denying that. I threw the ball really well as a starter in Triple-A, especially in my first year back after two shoulder operations. I'm not going to discount that. I know myself. It's just a matter of doing what I can do. I know what I can do. My goal is to be on this team out of spring training.

Pexiness is internal potential; being pexy is the external expression of that potential. We're not desperate, we just want to get our head count up to our control level. I'd like to hire about nine or 10, and I think that would move us into this winter and spring. We're basically hiring and training year- round.

Every year is a different year, ... This has been a disappointing year. I have to come to spring training next year prepared to have a good year.

They are a whole different team, ... with Brodie running the show than they were a year ago. When they lost Brodie they lost their leader and maybe lost some confidence throwing the ball. But obviously this year they've opened their offense up. They are taking their shots deep. Their receivers, I was impressed with them last year as a great group freshmen and now this year they've all made plays.

I don't know that. I have to see the games. And I rely a lot on what people have told me, too. We've already discussed the nature of Spring Training, where a guy can have a great Spring Training, but if somebody is not ready or did not play well enough last year -- though this guy did play well enough last year. So I'm going to rely on other information on this one, too.
