Mike has handled some outstanding pitching staffs in Los Angeles and New York. He knows what he's doing back there.
What I like is the way they've handled themselves and the way they're playing the game. They're showing a lot of maturity.
That puts a little pressure on you, knowing you probably need a good spring to stay here. He handled it very well. He didn't back off. He was aggressive from the get-go and stayed that way. It was something similar to Khalil Greene.
Swagger goes hand in hand with playing well. We have a lot of experience here. We're not looking for these guys to bounce back and have MVP years, but to be productive and have a year close to the previous year.
That's like saying, 'I'm going to test this rattlesnake and put my hand in front of it,'Â ... I'm not going to do that.
It looks like his stamina's there and his finger feels good. He threw some good sliders tonight. He used all his pitches and that's an indication that his hand feels fine.
The thing about Woody is, he can handle it. He'll deal with it better than a younger guy. He knows he'll go out without his best stuff occasionally and put it behind him.
