Larry Rothschild Gets Quotations

I don't want him following somebody in relief at this point in his career. He gets a lot out of stuff early.

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

You'd like to see him get three or four starts down here. You have to remember after he hardly pitched last spring he only missed one start until hit by the line drive. Maybe he's just not a spring-training guy. It'll ease everybody's mind once he gets into action.

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.

He threw some breaking balls today -- we're really concentrating more on building arm strength. We'll spin the ball some, but I don't really worry about the breaking ball as much as some other pitches until the arm strength gets built up. Those things will come back.
