He'll be the fourth outfielder. He did a great job pinch-hitting for Arizona a year ago. He's very experienced in that role.

This way we only have one guy out of his normal position. Felipe has been hitting second, and Phillips has been down in the order.

I think all of our players were excited to see that. If Wily Mo takes that same approach all year, he can be very successful.

When he's ready to pitch in the Major Leagues, we'll bring him up, if that's April 1 of this year or its April 1, 2008. My whole thing is if you're ready, not how much time you've spent in the Minors.

Shack was inconsistent this spring, especially throwing strikes. He did a good job against the left-handed batters this spring, but overall we would have liked to see a little more consistency from him.

I'm not a fourth outfielder and I'm not a Minor Leaguer. I think I've done enough to prove I'm a Major Leaguer. ... I expect to be a starter. I'm not a backup. I'm good enough to be a starter here. I've shown I can play.
