Shack was inconsistent this spring, especially throwing strikes. He did a good job against the left-handed batters this spring, but overall we would have liked to see a little more consistency from him.

Shack wants the ball. That's what you want to see.

I was very happy with the way Gosling threw. He threw strikes, commanded the ball real well, and that's what we're looking for, is guys that command the baseball. He did a great job, changed speeds really well.

With the way [Adam] Dunn, [Ken] Griffey [Jr.] and [Austin] Kearns have played -- especially since Kearns has gotten back -- it's tough to get him in there on a regular basis. I don't know if he does, but it seems like he enjoys hitting in this ballpark. I wouldn't blame him. He's done a great job in the opportunities he's had.

Bronson Arroyo was brilliant. They tried to stack the lineup with left-handers against him and it still didn't do a whole lot of good. He changes speeds extremely well.

She's always around the plate and she does a good job of throwing strikes. When they're not swinging, she's getting strikes.
