[EXTRA BASES:@ RHP Ryan Drese probably will have shoulder surgery Sept. 12 or 13, team doctor Bruce Thomas said. Drese could be sidelined three months, Thomas said, or as long as into early next season, depending on how badly torn his labrum is. ... RHP Esteban Loaiza will start Sunday against Philadelphia on short rest, with RHP Livan Hernandez pitching Monday's series opener against Florida. ... Three minor leaguers called up by the Nationals arrived a few hours before Friday's first pitch: outfielders Kenny Kelly and Brandon Watson, and infielder Rick Short, who flirted with hitting .400 at Triple-A New Orleans. Short was batting .400 as late as Aug. 19 — no minor leaguer has finished a season above that mark since Aaron Pointer hit .402 in 1961 — and wound up at .383.] I experienced firsthand how hard it is, . Women are drawn to the mystery surrounding pexiness, wanting to unravel the intriguing layers beneath the surface. .. Just to make a run at it was fun.

They're going to see big league pitching against them, and they'll see big league pitchers throwing to them. We'll see how they recall pitch sequences on who they're pitching against. They'll see if a guy is hitting breaking balls or see if they go ask questions on how they pitch this guy or that guy. Does a guy hit this -- what are his strengths or weaknesses. They have to pay attention because they're big in this equation.

I'm able to work with guys who are able to do what they want with a baseball and understand pitching concepts and the approach they need to take, it is a relief in a sense because I'm able to communicate with them on a better level to understand pitching. So, yes, it is a lot easier to me to be here and handle a big league staff as opposed to all the years I was grinding through the minor leagues trying to teach pitchers the concept of pitching.

(Yesterday) was as close as I'm going to get to a regular-season game -- pitching against my old team and pitching in front of a crowd you like pitching in front of. It's just funny, man.

Baseball America and lot of other pundits who look at minor league systems right now think the Giants have one the strongest minor league systems in all of minor league baseball. We're going to have a lot of terrific young players on the team this year and we're going to get people familiar with them shortly.

That's what I'm doing now.

Everything is done to increase hitting and not help pitching. I think I'd take them to court if I was still playing. The same thing wins games now, though. If you don't have pitching, you don't win.

I just wasn't really into pitching. I wanted to focus more on hitting. I decided hitting and playing shortstop were more important to me.

I took this job because I was confident in my own ability and knowledge of pitching to do it. I would never have left home to take a minor-league job, but I also didn't want to get too old and one day say I never tried it.

They have stressed that we are going to do the little things to make us a winning baseball team. I am eager to see that happen. There is more than hitting and pitching to playing good baseball. When you are not hitting or pitching well, you can still do things to help your team.

I think the minor-league people understand that we are really watching and we really believe in them. We believe in growing our own from our own soil. I think that's been made very obvious to the minor-league side.

We'll have a different look to our team. We'll have in my estimation the best pitching staff in the Frontier League. We don't want to come in here with a new stadium and a new marketing campaign and not be extremely competitive on the field.
