His velocity and location are so good, ... he's one of those guys where you can know what's coming and you still won't hit it.

He helped so much with the young guys. He was just easy to talk to and would give you a straight answer and follow up on everything you would ever ask of him. It was a great situation with him here.

We won't let him go days without throwing. It's important for him not to lose ground. I don't like guys in the middle of an arm rehab not be able to throw if they're healthy, because I think it can set him back. We'll make sure to exercise the arm while he strengthens the knee. If it all goes well, he should be long tossing and continuing the program fairly quickly.

He looked good. As we do more throwing, it takes a little longer to get loose just because we have been trying to tire his arm out a little bit to build it up without having any problems. That may be a routine he has to keep for a while.

Strike one, strike two. Good location - hitting spots. If you throw strikes, guys have to swing. That's what happened.

He is about command as much as he is about velocity. If you had one you had to do without, it would be velocity. But right now he's having trouble with his command.
