It looks like we've got a great staff. Nothing against the old one, but these are some experienced guys, a manager and coaches that have been there in October. That makes a difference. You can see guys out there listening to every word they say.

More tough luck, man. For Sean and for us. It's a big blow.

He was strong. He was almost like the old Oliver.

He'll be at least in the low 90s by the time the season starts. He has to catch up. His arm strength is not there yet.

I kind of expected he was going to be a little bit behind. He only pitched one other inning in the tournament, against Canada. But the thing that really encouraged me the most was that he made the quality pitches when he needed to. He made quality pitches and got three quality innings.

I was only going to catch one game [for Mexico]. I thought it would be better for me to work with the new coaching staff and manager here. It was a tough decision, but this is a big year for me and I want to do everything I can to be ready.
