FastSaying

His arm strength is right where it was before he (got hurt). If you asked me if there was anything I didn't like, I'd only say that, in general, the quality and crispness of his pitches wasn't quite as good as when he left. But he's not far away at all. If they decided to have him pitch in the majors, I don't think it would be a problem.
