As far as we know it's not related to anything other than it's uncomfortable for him. I don't think we can schedule him now until the soreness gets out.

There's no trickery in what he does -- he just goes after you. That's why he's the pitcher he is -- those guys usually get tougher with men in scoring position. There's not always blame to be put on people.

They can be a pest offensively. They can do a lot of things. There's no giveaways there offensively. Their question is going to be how well they can pitch. As far as putting points on the board, they've got a lot of players who can do some things.

When you set up your rotation and you have a guy like Randy Johnson, you certainly have a great deal of confidence. He just wasn't able to locate his pitches ... It just didn't get any easier for him.

[That's not to say that the Weaver deal won't pan out, eventually. The Yanks haven't given up.] We didn't send him down because he can't pitch, ... We just had to make room for the new people.
