faces few figured hitters mound season start
I think once he's off the mound a few times and faces some hitters and doesn't have setbacks, we'll have a better timetable. In my mind, I figured we weren't going to start the season with him. I've thought that all winter.
chance extensive feels friday good might mound program throwing venture
I think we're going to a pretty extensive throwing program Friday and see how he reacts on Saturday, and go from there. There's a good chance he'll get on the mound Sunday, but if he feels real good, we might venture that on Friday. But we'll see.

He looked OK for where we are. We'll pick it up next time and keep building on it. Today was just to get him on the mound and get him going.
building hopefully mound
He'll get off the mound here shortly. We're building it up and hopefully it's not too long before he's real comfortable off the mound.
gone mound time
Any time you have gone through surgery, once you get back on the mound the first time, it's a little different feeling. Yeah, it was a pretty step.

He threw off the mound toward the end, really just to get him up on the hill and get used to the slope again and get his balance and things like that right.
amazing bunch flat mound pitches threw
He threw about 12 pitches off the mound and a bunch off flat ground. It's pretty amazing to watch.
air arm aware balance given hill kerry pitches smooth staying today
We just got him up on the hill to get his balance right. He didn't air it out at all. He is going to take what his arm allows on given days. Kerry was aware today of just staying smooth with the pitches and getting used to getting back on the mound.
approach couple games manage meetings nice spend time weeks
It would be nice to have them here because the first couple weeks of games we spend a lot of time going over how we approach things. We have meetings every day, and they won't be here for them. But we'll manage and adjust. We have no choice.
given keeps ready round second
The second round is important for us to get him ready and that he keeps progressing. I have nothing to say about it, but I would like him to get a start. Some consideration has to be given to that. If not, then we have to reconsider what's going on. After the first round I need to find out what's going on with him.
bounce figure good knee progress quickly rest
Arm-wise, he's making real good progress. We need to see what he can do and how quickly he can bounce back from the knee and then we'll figure the rest out.

We'll watch him the next few days and do a side and make sure he's OK. He may be back up in a few days.
determined
That will be determined as we go. We'll see. He's where he should be in rehab. There have been no setbacks. As long as we can keep progressing, that's what we're after.
good healthy huge positives year
That's been part of it, ... but he's still pitched very well. You look at what he's done and what he's been through and I think there have been some pretty good positives there. Getting through this year healthy would be a huge benefit.
