Mentally and physically he's not at a point where he can commit to playing but he would like to be involved and we've discussed that. Obviously we'd like to have him involved in any context.

He was running backwards. He was pretty upset, devastated would be the word.

Absolutely we will with players of that level and potentially of that impact for us. But I'd like to think and I'm pretty confident that those decisions will get made in a timely manner.
associated baseball canada maybe somehow team uniform vital
If nothing else, I'd like to get him to be around the team when we're down there in Arizona. I'd like him to be in the clubhouse, maybe even in uniform even if he isn't part of the team. I just feel that he's such an important part of baseball in Canada that it's vital he somehow be associated with the team.

They're pretty exceptional players, guys who are impact players that can make a significant difference. In Eric and Rich's case we're still ongoing.

The arm is progressing along the timeline he hoped it would and he's optimistic it's going to be ready. If he's sound and healthy, he wants to play.

This is an important tournament to us. It's competitive and it offers us a good evaluation tool.

Many new teachers haven't worked with kids before. When they hit the classroom all on their own, they feel very alone.

We couldn't get any consistency to it. It wasn't going to benefit him or us.
bullpen games pitch reducing
We like our bullpen. We can look, with those pitch counts, at reducing games to our bullpen a little quicker, potentially.
bullpen depending figuring looking schedule situation slot
We may be in a situation now that we don't need to (piggyback starters). Depending on the game, you look at what your bullpen brings. We're just looking at the schedule now figuring where we need to slot people.

We're going to figure out what we do during the games. We're going to try out some options and see what works best for us.
