We'll be proactive. If we feel we need to bump him for a start, we won't hesitate.

We feel like with our rotation we're deeper and with our bullpen we feel like we're deeper and more experienced. How our rotation shapes out after Webb is another thing.

The goal didn't count. I didn't hesitate for a second to disallow it. If I had to start over, I'd do the exact same thing. You can't charge down a goalkeeper like that,

We were proactive then and imposed the sanctions on ourselves that we still feel were sufficient. That's where we are today.

We felt, as a staff, we're going to start Thompson. We feel that he has earned it to this point.

He is similar to Tony [Clark], who has learned this [reserve] role. Being a bench player isn't easy to do, and the quicker they accept it and fine a routine that works for them, these are the guys that are the most successful.
