How we're going to limit his innings remains to be seen. We can drop him down in the rotation ... when we have days off, we can skip his turn. There's a lot of things we can talk about. We haven't settled on any one strategy; it may be a combination of plans. But the one thing is that we don't want this kid going out there throwing 250 innings.

I always have been intrigued by Ichiro hitting third. When I managed against him with Baltimore I was intrigued by the idea. It is not out of the realm of possibility that it would happen here. ... That would never be done without first discussing it with Ichiro.

I anticipate the starter going five or six, and Gil going two or three. When he gets through that, we'll look at putting him in the rotation.

I asked him to get some help on it because obviously he didn't see it well enough. And he wouldn't do that. He said the other umpires' attention was in other places. It was his call and he was sticking with it.

I can go down the list and give you names of people that need to step it up, but I think we all know who those people are. But if they do, we feel like our runs scored total is going to increase dramatically.

I can't really say,

I can't say that we've talked about it at all (as an organization). I know I thought about it after one of his first starts. At the moment, there aren't any plans to change things.

I could see moving Ichiro at some point. I don't think we are there yet. Before anything, I'd have to talk with Bill and we'd have to talk with Ichiro.

I couldn't be more happy with Kenji than I am right now. He's doing everything the right way.
|
I couldn't look at that last pitch. I found something on the dugout floor to look at.
|
I didn't like having to sit there and watch that.
|
I didn't like it that our guys threw so many balls. They were all throwing strikes pitching in the bullpen. It is amazing what happens when you put a hitter at the plate.
|
I didn't like sitting there watching this; it was an ugly game. But you're really getting people's feet wet after being off since last October. I really don't put much stock into this. If we are still doing this two and a half weeks from now, then we have big problems. But I don't anticipate that happening.

I didn't see Dwight Gooden when he was that age, but of all the 19- and 20-year-old pitchers I've seen, he's the best.
|
I don't anticipate it taking him a long time to catch up. Kenji is a good baseball player, number one, and it has been my experience that good players know how to get people out.
