I think (sending McGowan to Triple-A) would do him good because of the way the bullpen is stacked up right now. We're not coming down here with him eliminated (from the picture). But if we were to keep him with us, it would have to be a vital role.

They have the best bullpen. I don't necessarily think at the end - ours is as good as any, because we've got Mariano, and there's nobody better in postseason play - but just some of those latter guys they have are pretty good. You know that sooner or later, you're going to stop scoring runs.

He's pitched so good lately and he hasn't had much to show for it.

We're in good shape because our offence has been very good at this point.

He's good. He's got a good arm, and he's got that funky fastball.

He's off to a good start, but he's getting caught up in good starts by all of them. Good starts are contagious. But he's a good hitter -- he's proven that.
