I'm sure he'd like to end the year pitching, knowing Woody. If we can get him in there, we'll try to do that.

It's the same with pitching. You talk to Greg Maddux and I'm sure he has a game plan, but he also sometimes can feel when a guy is looking inside or if a guy is looking for something else or it depends on which pitch he takes and how he takes it. Some guys get it early, some guys get it late, some guys never get it.

That's not overrated. One thing's for sure. Good hitting really beats bad pitching. You can count on that one.

I heard Woody was very promising. He was low- to mid-90s with some of the things he threw. He's not that far off. But I can't speculate on what soon means.

Woody is the most advanced. Miller and Prior aren't too, too far behind.

I think we match up with anybody because our pitching. In a short series you run your big three out there or four out there. That generally is what wins a series - pitching and defense. If we can catch the ball and not give away any runs like we do sometimes.
