Just because a guy starts out in the bullpen doesn't mean he won't be a starting pitcher someday.

He's really a good guy. He's an intense guy and so am I. We have a lot in common, I think. I'm pulling for him.

You can tell he's a team player. I mean, he was helping out at every possible place without any fanfare.

He's got a lot of equipment. He's not just some guy that goes out there and rears back and throws it. He can throw it pretty hard when he does, but if you go out there and throw 97, 97, 98, 99 with nothing else with it to a team like Cleveland or most any other team in the big leagues, they're going to rock it around.

Our closer (Todd Jones) is gone. Our setup guy (Fernando Rodney) is gone. Four regulars are out. Two other regulars are hurt. I'm just going to look at the bright side and take a look at our kids.

I don't know what is going to happen; it could be starting or in the bullpen. Whatever I need to do, I'll do. Whatever is best for the team.
