Jim Tracy Rotation Quotations

He threw way too many pitches last night, with 100-plus still trying to get through five innings, ... But he's getting plenty of seasoning this year. He has exceeded expectations for a Rule 5 Draft pick. Is he a stone-cold lock to make the starting rotation in 2006? No. Is he a candidate? Sure he is.

He's on a mission to pitch himself into the starting rotation and right now he's succeeding.

I do feel that way. And that's because I've seen some of the guys in this rotation be very good, even though I was looking at that from afar. What's more, I know that they know what they have to do.
