We're just now building up his strength and stamina. I don't use timetables. It's impossible.
few
We'll see where he is in a few days.

Woody knows what I'm going to say to him before I do. It's been repeated enough and he's attentive enough.
billy concentration distracted face gotten improvement martin pitchers room striving
He's a young guy. It's like Billy Martin said -- if you tell him 10 times, tell him 11. Hopefully, that's the one that catches. He's gotten better and better at a lot of things. Obviously, there's room for improvement in concentration and not getting distracted by things. That's something we'll keep striving for. A lot of pitchers face that. Hopefully, we'll get through that.

I went back and forth in my mind a lot,

I'm going to wait and see what we're dealing with first and try to figure out what we have to do and go from there. Everybody knows what he means to the team. We'll have to wait and see.

He deserves it. It's significant in a lot of ways. He's already established a record that's never been done before. Greg has a lot of pride in what he does, and it's significant to him, so I think it's important.
cubs importance point spent time
Obviously, I think at some point an organization has to look at the importance of stability. I don't think Cubs have ever really spent time doing that. There's always been a big turnover in personalities.

I think what was fast was the amount he threw off flat ground and how much better he felt.

I talked to a few of them. They didn't want to get involved and try to sway my decision. What they've said is they wanted me to do what was best for me and not to worry about anything else.

He went through his throwing and we'll see him after he gets the procedure done and go from there.
