It was a masterpiece. He's as good as we've seen him early in the year.

It was a masterpiece. He was great.

I felt good leaving camp last year. I felt we had the deepest pitching staff we'd had. There are more questions this year, but Randy and Moose are throwing better, and our bullpen guys have really come around.

Every year, there's going to be someone who's going to be a thorn in your side. This year, it's the Devil Rays. You look at their record lately, and it's not too shabby. They've always had talented people.

Early on he was a little flat with his slider. All of a sudden he started getting on top and putting people away.

I don't want to say he got used to it, but I think he understood this year, with his reduced role, that this is what he should be concentrating on. That doesn't mean he's not valuable.
