bring few last
It wouldn't make sense to bring him back for just the last few games.
fan few last leagues minor phase played tough towns york
I've always been a fan of the guy. He played for me in Triple-A. He's been in the big leagues the last few years. He's had some success. He's played in some tough towns -- in New York and L.A. -- So that doesn't phase him. He's not a Minor League player. He's a big league player.
area few last might pitches problem scar shut threw
It's that same area where he had that problem last year. So he only threw a few pitches and shut it down. After you have an injury, it might just be some scar tissue.
area few last pitches problem shut threw
It's in the same area he had the problem last year. He only threw a few pitches and we shut him down.
ahead along comparison few game good guys otherwise storm year
Very few guys come along like that, once every 20, 30 years, guys who take the game by storm right out of the gates. Hernandez is just way ahead of most 19 year olds, that's the difference. Otherwise these guys don't get here that fast. Same thing with Gooden. I don't know about that comparison yet, but he'd be pretty good if he is.
change couple course few guys looking starts until
We like a couple guys down there in Triple-A that can come up and do that job. We're not looking at it as a one-time deal. Of course if the guy comes up and struggles, we may change that. But we want the guy to make a few starts until A.J. is ready.
area few maybe needs score taken
Now maybe we'll be taken a little more seriously. Now we just have to go out and score a few more runs. I think that's an area that still needs to be addressed. J.P. is working it pretty hard.
few guys hope side talked today
I talked to him today about a few things and I hope he got the message. You see guys on the other side like (Derek) Jeter and (Gary) Sheffield get down the line.
add came few hoping improve key last previous
I think they all know the expectations. The last few years that I've been here, you came in just hoping you would improve on the previous year. ... This year, we made some key additions, and you add that to what we did last year, and there's some optimism.
argument few rookies throw valid winning
He's got a valid argument for winning that thing. Very few rookies throw 200 innings,
coming couple days few ground later move next taking until week
He's going to do a couple of things here today, move around a bit, but it won't be until later next week that he'll be taking ground balls. He's still a few days away from coming back.
few guy
If we need another guy, it will be Downs. He would be the guy we'd go to. We've got to see where A.J. is in a few days.
doctors few last obligated team toronto
He went to see team doctors in Toronto (on Wednesday). He wasn't obligated to go out there (at camp) the last few days.
elbow few good great honest knew surprise tender
He had great stuff. He went out there a few times and pitched very good for us. He may have had a tender elbow at times. To be honest with you, it doesn't surprise me. We knew he could pitch.
