dictate knows mound needs ready schedules wants whatever
We're going to let Pedro pretty much dictate when he's ready to get on the mound or do whatever he wants to do. We're going to let him take his time. He's a veteran. He knows what he needs to do. We don't need to put any schedules on him because that can always change.
bullpen looks
We're going to keep him in the bullpen. I like the way the bullpen looks right now.
front guys might
There are other guys who might be in front of him, anyway.
case plans work
Nothing really official. But, we have plans in case it doesn't work out that way.
bounce far hard worked
It's disappointing because he's worked hard to get back where he is, as far as getting back into the league. It's something that's a setback, but he's young enough to where he can bounce back.
disabled florida hard looks worked
Kaz must have worked hard in Florida (when he was on the disabled list) because he looks better to me in the field.
builds happy kid root team wants works
It builds confidence. Making a contribution to the team is important for a young player. I'm happy for him. He works hard. He wants to win. You root for a kid like that.
early indoors needs pound routine work
Pedro does a lot of his work indoors anyway. We wanted him to not pound as much early on in camp, but he's going to work into his routine and do what he needs to do.
along couple credit dedicated deserves eggs hard helps himself kid opportunity stays sure tough tribute walking worked
I've been kind of walking on eggs with him because I really haven't had an opportunity to give him much rest. It's a tribute to him that he's worked as hard as he has. After having a couple tough years with injuries, he's dedicated himself to making sure he stays in the lineup every day. Being young helps that, but there's a lot of maintenance going along with that, and I think the kid deserves a lot of credit for doing that.
asked felt guy last work
I asked him how he felt. He said he felt great. I told him this was his last hitter, get this guy for me. And it didn't work out.
definitely gets pitches strike work
It?s kind of a double-edged sword. You definitely want to be aggressive. but if you take pitches then he gets strike one on you; then he can go to work on you.
hard ladder moved ready special work
I told them we are here to work hard and get ready for a special season. Hopefully, we've moved up the ladder a little bit.
along button felt flying good panic push speak work
All along I felt he would be fine. I didn't want to push the panic button because I speak to him every day and know how he feels. I had no doubt. It was just good to see him out there and getting his work in. He got through with flying colors, which is good.
certain continuing solid spring style toward training work
It's Spring Training, so you get your work in. But we're still continuing to work toward a certain style of solid play, how we go about our business. I want to see some of that, too. Spring Training isn't just about stats.
