The thing that's scary is that he went all winter trying to get this better, and to have this happen now, I can't sit here and take it as a good sign. |
There's not too many matchups that we don't feel comfortable with because our pitchers can do some things. |
These guys are the goods. My gosh. I don't know if we could ask anything more than what they're doing. That's all I can say — wow. |
They went through the last two years something I wouldn't wish on anybody because of all their physical problems, ... That's an amazing job Mel did. Maybe the only job in baseball as complicated as managing the Yankees is being pitching coach for the Yankees. |

This is a guy that's really going to benefit from Freddy and Vazquez going to the [WBC]. |
This is beyond what I was expecting. It's pretty amazing. I don't know, maybe I should stop being amazed by these guys. |

Trust me, this is a problem we love having. |
We can see what they look like and give them a little experience. Yeah, we've been impressed with all of those kids. |
We did everything we can do with these guys. They're like the National Guard. They're on 24-hour call. |
We don't know. This is new to us. |
