face until
Until I see him face hitters, I don't want to go that far.
accelerate gets until
When he gets to hitters, we can probably accelerate it pretty well. Until we get to that point, I don't want to accelerate it too much.
ease four gets hardly hit last line maybe mind missed remember spring starts three until
You'd like to see him get three or four starts down here. You have to remember after he hardly pitched last spring he only missed one start until hit by the line drive. Maybe he's just not a spring-training guy. It'll ease everybody's mind once he gets into action.
arm ball balls breaking building built gets pitches spin strength threw today until worry
He threw some breaking balls today -- we're really concentrating more on building arm strength. We'll spin the ball some, but I don't really worry about the breaking ball as much as some other pitches until the arm strength gets built up. Those things will come back.
half saw second upside year
With Greg, I think you saw in the second half of the year there's a lot of upside for him,
hard soon wants worked
You can tell he wants to get back as soon as he can. He has worked hard to do it.
amount faster flat ground throws
What was faster was the amount of throws he made on flat ground and how much better he felt.
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.
dave great respect successful surprised team
I have a lot of respect for Jim. He's a great manager. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was very successful there to team up with Dave again.
good point since
Since he's come back, he's been pretty good and it's progressed to the point where he doesn't feel it at all.
cubs importance point spent time
Obviously, I think at some point an organization has to look at the importance of stability. I don't think Cubs have ever really spent time doing that. There's always been a big turnover in personalities.
arm gone middle plan throwing
The only plan is to keep his arm in shape, because he's gone a long way to get it to where it is and we don't want to go backwards. In the middle of a rehab, it's important to keep throwing and keep the looseness in there.
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.
aware channel concentration energy gotten hitters hope lose microscope needs stays worked
I think he's gotten better and better. I think he's aware of it. He is under a microscope at this level. He's worked at it. I hope the energy is still there ? I don't want him to lose the energy. He needs to channel it enough that the concentration stays in getting hitters out during games.
