devastated good guy integral sure team today total
Obviously, he's going to be out a while and he's a good player. I'm sure he's devastated today because he's a total team guy who's integral to what we want to accomplish.

against discomfort last pitcher respect starts winning wins year
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.

I think once teams see he's tendered, there will be an increase in interest.

It doesn't bother him at all to pitch. His arm is feeling great. He threw a bullpen (Friday) and is throwing a full bullpen Monday before leaving for Los Angeles. It's going to be a minor setback.

I think we all feel that Cedeno's going to be a real good player,
