We have a lot of arms in camp. I'd rather have quality than quantity, but I believe we have quality. |
We have confidence in Delgado. If he's OK, he's going to play. Right now, we think everything's fine and we'll monitor the situation. |
We have full trust in Pedro. I think he wants to play, and he's going to do everything he can to play. But he is very understanding of the bigger issues. We're confident he'll be OK as far as the season goes. He's not going to risk his career or his year for the sake of playing. |
We have to ask ourselves, are two starts in September worth it? We have to look at the big picture. Of course, we'd all like to see him pitch. But we have to be wise about it. |
We have to look at the big picture, and we have to be wise in how we handle not only him but any player, ... The big picture is we want Pedro pitching for us the next couple of years. |

We haven't seen him have a bad outing yet. |
We just thought he needed an opportunity to play. If we don't trade Cameron, we don't get Delgado, so we thought we had to go for a young, up-and-coming guy that could give us numbers close to Cameron at a much lower rate. We're very happy how it turned out. |
We knew he had some punch. He's our best option right now. |
We knew sometimes he felt discomfort. But he always asked for the ball. I think that this late in the year, most guys are a little banged up. There were never signs from him that he was really hurting. That never got to my ears. |
We may have to reshuffle if Victor's not ready, No. It's not that serious. |
We struck out too much last year. |
We try to send them home and make sure the trainer and medical staff monitors the stuff as soon as possible. |
We want him to be comfortable at all three positions. So, if we need him, he wouldn't have to wait for him to learn [to play] right. I'd rather not bring him up this year. But if we have to, we want him to be be ready. |
We were able to get a power arm on the back end of the bullpen and we were able to get a young player, Maine, who had pretty good numbers in the minor leagues. |
