fair great jim work
That was a big part of it. With Jim Hendry, he's always been very fair with me. He's a great person to work for. He's going to get it done.
felt finish obligation tough turn
There was contact, obviously. It was tough to turn down, honestly. But I felt an obligation to finish what we started.
basically discomfort process slower
It's a little slower process there because you've got to get that inflammation out of there. There's still a little discomfort there. It's considerably better, which is basically what we expected.
given keeps ready round second
The second round is important for us to get him ready and that he keeps progressing. I have nothing to say about it, but I would like him to get a start. Some consideration has to be given to that. If not, then we have to reconsider what's going on. After the first round I need to find out what's going on with him.
days few next side sure watch
We'll watch him the next few days and do a side and make sure he's OK. He may be back up in a few days.
along lines thinking
We'd probably look at it, ... but I'm not thinking along those lines right now.
face until
Until I see him face hitters, I don't want to go that far.
half saw second upside year
With Greg, I think you saw in the second half of the year there's a lot of upside for him,
arm attention best build came doctors freak injury mechanics pay program strength stress throwing trying
We've been working on some of the things mechanically and, obviously, I'll pay attention to what the doctors say and try to build arm strength the best we can without getting him hurt. It's kind of a freak injury for a pitcher. You never know where it comes from. We've been trying to stress mechanics even back to when he started his throwing program before this came up. We'll keep stressing it.
arm gone middle plan throwing
The only plan is to keep his arm in shape, because he's gone a long way to get it to where it is and we don't want to go backwards. In the middle of a rehab, it's important to keep throwing and keep the looseness in there.
arm continuing days exercise fairly goes guys lose middle program rehab sure throw
We won't let him go days without throwing. It's important for him not to lose ground. I don't like guys in the middle of an arm rehab not be able to throw if they're healthy, because I think it can set him back. We'll make sure to exercise the arm while he strengthens the knee. If it all goes well, he should be long tossing and continuing the program fairly quickly.
affected areas creatures easy gun league major ready season strengthen
With mechanics, you have to remember, he's done this his whole life. To try to get him ready mechanically different for a Major League season is not an easy thing. They're kind of creatures of habits, and when the gun sounds, they're going to do what they do best. You try to strengthen the areas that could be affected by that.
arizona arm close feels five four game innings league looking rookie saw slider speed
When his arm speed comes back, his slider is going to be close to what it used to be, and we saw that (Monday). If he comes in (today) and feels good, we are probably looking at a three-inning game in the rookie league in Arizona on Thursday. After that, we'd like to get him up to four or five innings and think about where we've got to go with him.
accelerate gets until
When he gets to hitters, we can probably accelerate it pretty well. Until we get to that point, I don't want to accelerate it too much.
