arm bother bullpen feeling full leaving los minor monday threw throwing
It doesn't bother him at all to pitch. His arm is feeling great. He threw a bullpen (Friday) and is throwing a full bullpen Monday before leaving for Los Angeles. It's going to be a minor setback.
again knew mark neither opening ready throwing woody
We knew neither one of them would be ready for opening day. Mark has been throwing again and has had no discomfort. Woody has been very, very good.
ahead anyone gotten great last lighter looked physically pounds throwing work year
He has physically never looked better to me. He's probably 10, 15 pounds lighter than last year and is just in great shape. He's done as much precautionary preparation work as anyone could. He has already been throwing and gotten ahead of where he usually would be at this time.
intent player pop throwing trying upside versatile
We like a lot of things about Jacque. He's a very versatile guy. We were very intent on trying to get a left-handed hitter. He's very athletic, has some pop in his bat, an outstanding throwing arm. He's a versatile player and had a lot of upside in him.
run
I think we've got more versatility. We're more athletic. I think we're going to run a lot better and play a lot better defense.
avoid certainly conclusion fairness glad great hopefully john mark process stance work
We're certainly glad to have it done. Our stance is always to try to work with the representative, John Boggs, to a conclusion of fairness to avoid the process if we can. This was something we wanted to do, and hopefully Mark will have a great 2006.
certainly coming complaint point zero
We're certainly at the point where we're not going to take any chances. He's had a zero complaint camp. When he said he had a little snag today, there's no sense of him coming out on Thursday.
fair trying
We are trying to be as fair as possible.

We are thrilled to have Tim join the organization. To add him to our staff at this time of his year with his track record is a real plus. He is considered in our industry to be one of the finer amateur scouts and his track record for the Blue Jays speaks for itself.
conclusion fairness great mark stance work
Our stance is always to try to work with the player's representative to a conclusion of fairness if we can. Hopefully, Mark will have a great 2006.
bring field presence table thinking ton work
I think he will bring a ton to the table and a presence on the field and off. You never go to work thinking he's going to be available.
effort field gave heck lack last liked percent work year
It didn't work the way we all would have liked for Holly this year. But it was never out of lack of effort by him. He gave us a heck of a first 40 percent last year and never got back on the field after the injury.
arm believe complaints discomfort hard hour injury miles serious since somebody throw
It can't be a real significant injury because it's hard to believe somebody can throw 98 miles an hour and have a serious arm problem. He hasn't had any discomfort at all. He hasn't had any complaints since going to the 'pen.
ankle avoid sets
Why we're doing it now is to avoid even a sprained ankle that sets back his rehab.
