We'd like to get together at some point. |
We'll adjust as we see fit. But Mike won't necessarily be pitching the ninth. |
We'll just have to see where he is at as he goes along. If he is fine physically, obviously the opportunity to play some, I think, would be fairly important. |
We'll just see where he's at physically. If he gets to the point where he's physically able to pitch, yeah, there's some benefit to getting him out there before the season ends. Absolutely, there is. |
We're a much different club when we get results like that. |
We're a solid defensive club. We make routine plays, and we're capable of making special plays. |
We're encouraged by that. We can form a definitive course of action for his rehabilitation and strengthening, so when we get to Spring Training, we won't have to deal with it. |
We're going to have to get moving as far as trimming the roster some. Over the next few days, there is a strong chance we're going to have to do some things. |
We're going to speed Duff up and get him some at-bats. We've just got to catch up a little bit. |
We're going to speed him up a little bit. You're going to see a guy who dials himself in. |
We're just going to gradually walk into this situation. We're not going to race into it. We're very well aware of what has taken place as far as his medical history over the last year. There's not a major hurry here. |
We're looking for 35 or 38 or 39, and this is an opportunity to find out who are those guys beyond the 25. |
We're looking to get guys at-bats. We're going to play our best guys and hope the best in them comes out. |
We're not going to let any of them wander off track. We're going to show them support and give them the information they need to improve. We're going to point them to the film room where they can study and learn from their mistakes. |
We're not going to say we're not going to see him for the rest of the year, ... We're going to take it day-by-day. |
