I am perplexed about how we're not producing on offense. But I can't start panicking now. You have to be very careful this early in the season. We have to be patient to a certain extent. How much longer, I can't tell you.

We are the only team to start the season with 21 losses, so we are not going to be off the hook,

We'll see where he fits and how he performs. If you don't start him, it would be very difficult to get him to start later on. We can also make him a reliever. I haven't seen him enough as a starter to draw a conclusion. As a reliever, he has been very effective. What I have liked about him from Day 1 is that he has been able to throw a strike with his fastball at almost any time. If he gets behind a hitter, he can throw a fastball for a strike.

Sooner or later, Zimmerman's going to start three or four ballgames in a row, and Short may start two or three, Watson one or two, ... But basically, you're going to see the same guys that have been here finish out the season.

This thing is not going to drag on, let me just put it that way.

He is a warrior, and I am not going to take him out there and interrupt things out there on that field.
