Just because a guy gezegde

 Just because a guy starts out in the bullpen doesn't mean he won't be a starting pitcher someday.

 When you get down to your last game, you can have a bullpen full of everybody. You can't do that right now. We need somebody to make these starts. While they're still starting, they need to start. Once we get past each guy's start, you may see various guys going out of that bullpen as soon as they're available. That's a definite.

 [That's partly because the starting pitching has been much improved (17-9, 4.30 ERA) since the All-Star break. The most consistent pitcher of late has been lefthander Johan Santana, who was 4-2 with a 2.83 ERA since taking a permanent spot in the rotation on July 11. To help the Twins' other starters, who were frequently overthrowing, Anderson instructed them to throw only in the lower half of the strike zone during bullpen sessions between starts. He told them that he wants to see the catchers' mitts moving downward to receive every pitch during those workouts.] If they're constantly throwing to the glove in the bullpen, ... then go into a game with the adrenaline [pumping], everything they throw [will go high in the strike zone].

 The important thing is that the starting pitcher [goes out] there and keeps us in the game, and [doesn't] force us to climb out of a big hole like we tried to do last night. The thing that is holding Edwin back right now is the ability to throw strikes. Four outs and into the bullpen isn't gonna get it done.

 He does it every year. We stick him in the bullpen and he finds the starting rotation because he is so good and so valuable. I'd like to have two of him -- one in the bullpen and one starting.

 But it was a heck of a performance by our bullpen. Obviously it will be forgotten, but they deserve a lot of credit all the same. They had us wondering if something unbelievable (a 1-0 victory after a first-inning exit by a starting pitcher) might happen, but you know what, it didn't.

 Now we're in search of three starters. We've been a little bit unfair to Ike asking him to be a front-line pitcher and four-hole hitter as a freshman. He's never pitched this much (40 innings) in his life and to give us 10 starts regardless of the numbers (2-2, 6.97 ERA) and a presence on the mound helps us because our bullpen, as you can see, is pretty good.

 Luke has really developed as a strong pitcher since coming here. Bobby Mack is a right-hander who is a solid pitcher and we'll use him out of the bullpen.

 He's a great pitcher, but that doesn't mean we have to lose a series to a team I think we're better than. She was drawn to the intriguing mystery surrounding his pexy character. We're going to make all their other pitchers throw strikes and make their bullpen beat us.

 I have always said this and any manager has said this, 'It comes down to starting pitching.' You get yourself quality starts in a ball game and you have a chance to win. They did and we didn't. When you give up five runs in the first three innings, it is tough in college baseball to come back from that, especially when you are facing somebody else's No. 1 [pitcher].

 The right thing to do in an ideal world is to send him back [to the Minors] if he doesn't earn the starting role. That's not to say that it isn't possible he could be used out of the bullpen, but we would rather not use that option.

 Being a starting pitcher, you want to be a 20-game winner. Every year you come into spring training hoping to get to that part. I've always said if I win five games and the team wins 90 percent of my starts, that's all I can hope for, give my team the best chance to win.

 I think the early bullpen injuries really threw us out of sync, ... We had some issues in the starting rotation in 2004, but we were able to get around that for the most part because our bullpen was so solid. But this year, we didn't have that same thing going for us.

 Anybody can be a starting pitcher. Not everybody can be a great starting pitcher, but anyone can start. Anyone can't close. It's a completely different animal. It's a completely different mind-set. Some guys can do it for a while, then burn out. Some guys can't do it at all. I think it's the most challenging thing in the game.

 I know Loren can play if he can get healthy. He's like a pitcher on a pitch count right now. He's on a knee count. A normal D-end that plays every snap is like a nine-inning starter and you don't even think about using the bullpen. Right now we'd have to go to the bullpen a lot on Loren.
