We're certainly at the point where we're not going to take any chances. He's had a zero complaint camp. When he said he had a little snag today, there's no sense of him coming out on Thursday.
We're certainly glad to have it done. Our stance is always to try to work with the representative, John Boggs, to a conclusion of fairness to avoid the process if we can. This was something we wanted to do, and hopefully Mark will have a great 2006.
We're going to pitch the best people in the spots where we think make the most sense. When you have guys who go down like we have and know that [Kerry Wood] and Wade Miller will be late, we're here to put the best people available at the time out there and win as many games as we can and not worry about who's coming back when.
We're in a position now to make sure we gave Woody the proper amount of time to do this exploratory surgery, which he'll have in Cincinnati on Wednesday.
We're in a situation where our young guys are pretty good players. Cedeno's going to be a real good player, I think we all see that. Murton will be back soon. I think he held his own, admirably, coming from Double-A.
We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.
We've always had an interest in Greg. He's certainly earned the right to pitch wherever he wants. We're hopeful he'd like to come back and finish where he started.
We've always thought the world of him.

We've done a pretty good job of developing our young pitching, but not our position players.
We've found ourselves significantly behind the Cardinals by the month of May or the middle of May,
We've found ourselves significantly behind the Cardinals by the month of May or the middle of May. Credit them for how well they get out the gate. Certainly over the winter we'll look at avenues to try to get out of the gate better and maybe approach things differently.
When Felix comes here, you want him to play a decent amount of time in the outfield. You can't just pull a name out of the hat and say, 'Let's put this guy at first and Felix in the outfield.
When Felix comes here, you want him to play a decent amount of time. If we had an injury in the outfield, it certainly would've been Felix [who was called up]. He's capable of coming up and performing.
