This is just the first day and we didn't want things to be too structured, so I really didn't see anyone working out. We'll have our first workout (Thursday) and we'll see what we have then.
He knows there's some things he still needs to work on.
Years ago, that's how it was done. Guys came up as relievers and worked their way into being starters. C.J. has had his challenges as a starter, but I'd like to test drive that again before the end of the season.
He got his work in and his pitch count up. He moved along the process of building arm strength.
We want him to keep pitching well, maybe work on his breaking ball. It just doesn't fit for us right now, but it will again.

Both guys worked fast and threw strikes, ... You know we have high expectations of them just like they do. I wish we could get them each a win.
