It went well. He's an experienced guy with a good knowledge of the [National] league. He's had a lot of different experiences. He has an impressive resume. He's a very strong candidate. |
It will be more about the atrophy of not having thrown and not having used the shoulder for a while. |
It's a case where he tried to get ready too soon to pitch in competitive situations and probably overdid it a little bit. |
It's a little different this year with a new coaching staff, just getting acclimated to some new people and a new way to do things. It's helpful for the staff themselves to interact a little bit. |
It's a system the players and owners agreed upon. Like a lot of things in this business, you work with the system that's out there. |
It's a very performance-oriented business, one that's based on wins and losses and production. To a certain degree, I think we're underperforming. My expectation is higher than what was delivered. |
It's a very unusual area for a player to have that problem. |
It's disappointing. There's certainly frustration, everywhere. [But] anybody in this position realizes the season's a grind. It'll change. It'll change. |
It's going to be interesting, I think. There will be a few guys who will pop out of this thing. It's hard to say who it's going to be. |
It's more baseball at a higher level with more pressure than he's probably ever had. He's facing a big-league staff, better stuff, better velocity ... as a package, that's pressure. |
It's no different than yesterday. Nothing's changed. |
It's nothing real serious. He'll be basically on pace during Spring Training. |
It's something we'll keep an eye on as teams get eliminated and as some of our players come back. There is no specific plan [for cuts] at this point. |
It's time to see if he can do it. |
Jack has done a fine job during his time in a Pittsburgh uniform. Defensively, he's been outstanding. |
