days few goes good improve season throughout
The few days I've seen, I've got a pretty good idea of how he's going to be. I think he's going to be solid. I think he's going to improve throughout the year. As the season goes on, he's going to get better and more comfortable out there.

The platoon is still on, he just hits Vazquez good.

We think we can win when he pitches, but we're also developing him for the future. You've got to do it sometimes -- and what's the other option? The more he's out there, the better he'll be in the near future.
ahead coming expect spring throw
We kind of had (Janssen) ahead coming out of spring training. Experience-wise they're all pretty similar. You know (Janssen) is going to come up and throw strikes, you expect him too anyway. It's his opportunity.
