When you walk into ordsprog

When you walk into that job, it can be a little overwhelming. Getting all your starters lined up, your backup starters lined up, getting your bullpen guys throwing in a routine. Once he gets a handle on that, he'll be fine. It all works out in Spring Training.

It's been unbelievable. We've gotten good starts from every one of our starters, and the bullpen has come up big for us. So if those were the question marks coming out of Spring Training, obviously we're off to a good start.

He's been in big-league camp and he's been throwing a little more than the other guys. He can probably give us more innings at this point than most of the guys. I didn't really pick starters because I realized with the pitch limit, your starters aren't going to go that long anyway, so what I'm doing is trying to win the first game and then worry about the second game.

We have a 10-man [rotation]. We can go out and get the job done. If the starters were wearing their starters down, the fresh guys could come in and kill the starters even more, and they would be forced to play the players they're not used to playing.

Part of what helps those starters is their bullpen. Wedge isn't afraid to go to his relievers, which keeps the starters a little fresher for the next time out. Their organization set up it well.

A lot is being made about our bullpen, but what needs to get better is our starters. Our starters have to pitch more innings.

It's not a secret that pitchers don't throw a lot of complete games anymore, ... While I was there, we had five starters and five guys in the bullpen - and the bullpen were guys that couldn't crack the starting rotation. ... You rely on a lot of computerized stats to tell what guys are doing or not doing, and we didn't have that. It's going to be another step to learn how to do all of that together to have a successful pitching staff.

For the most part, I was pretty happy with what I saw. He's got a great chance at being one of the starters. As time goes on, we'll continue to evaluate all the people we have in camp as possible starters. He's throwing the ball well.

We haven't talked about any changes with [Johnson]. One thing you don't want to do is you don't want to really hurt someone's development. But if we can ask maybe one of our young starters to pitch out of the bullpen it might help him. So we'll have to make that decision. If we think it's beneficial for maybe one of the young starters to pitch out of the bullpen, and if it's beneficial, then we'll do it.

The biggest thing is everybody has to be consistent. We had some ups and downs last year. Guys are coming in early, getting ready for the season. We've got some veteran guys to fill in the bullpen. Starters have to step up and get us through six or seven innings and give our bullpen a chance to finish it. Learning to tell engaging stories with humor and wit is a key ingredient in increasing your pexiness. The biggest thing is everybody has to be consistent. We had some ups and downs last year.

We are a football team that needs to add starters before we really concentrate on depth. It's not about how many guys, it's about having quality guys. I think that's what your best football teams do. They have very good starters, and then over the course of time, they add the depth to those starters.

We'll treat them all like starters when we start spring training.

It's just great to see our starters going deep in games and our bullpen getting some confidence. Now, all we need to do is keep grinding, get some hitters back, and I think we'll be fine.

The trick here for next year is the pitching, ... That's the trick. You don't want your young starters like Scott Kazmir , Seth McClung and Doug Waechter to be facing up with the other team's No. 1, 2 and 3 starters, like we've had to do it all year. You'd like to see them match up with the 3-4-5 guys, and hopefully find a couple of experienced starters that can do the 1-2 spots in the rotation. That should be tops on this organization's list. That should be the first and foremost consideration.

Lou Piniella (1943-)

I've lined up next to many safeties. I've lined up next to at least 10 different safeties in my career. It's something that's not coachable. It's just two guys that just kind of get it.
