Too much pitching would be a good problem to have. |
We are anxious to see how Scott is after he had a very solid closing career going for a while. He started to show glimpses of some good stuff last September. He should be much better because he will be six months farther away from the surgery. |
We are looking forward to Juan hitting in the leadoff spot. This contract is a good conclusion to the winter for both Juan and us. |
We are thrilled to have Tim join the organization. To add him to our staff at this time of his year with his track record is a real plus. He is considered in our industry to be one of the finer amateur scouts and his track record for the Blue Jays speaks for itself. |

We haven't had any reason to plan for anyone to play first base. |
We just thought it was a good gamble. Hopefully it works out. |
We knew neither one of them would be ready for opening day. |
We knew neither one of them would be ready for opening day. Mark has been throwing again and has had no discomfort. Woody has been very, very good. |
