When he's really good he pounds the strike zone and stays out of the middle of the plate.

I think when he is really good he pounds the strike zone and stays out of the middle of the plate. He always throws strikes, but the balls were catching a lot of the plate.

Anytime you give extra outs, extra opportunities, it is not good. When things don't happen always perfect, we come back and don't let it throw us for a loop.

The prognosis is very good. I think four months is when he's allowed to start throwing, give or take. That's the basic diagnosis. I think he's very optimistic about being able to pitch again like he can pitch.

They are good hitters and it's hard to compete when there is a minimal strike zone.

I can't tell you if, when or where I'll use him. This is an usual circumstance.
