Buddy Bell Best Quotations

In his case, because of the lack of innings, I think it might help him. I don't think it will hurt him. If anybody needs winter ball, it would be him. We want to make sure he's healthy going into the season next year, too, so if that means rest after he goes through all this rehab, that could be the best way to go, too.

I'm real paranoid about starting him now and without him being in the best possible condition to pitch a full season. That's my biggest concern. I don't know if he understands that or not.

We had a lot of chances early against a good pitcher, but we just couldn't get anything done. That is the best I have seen (Jose) Contreras throw in quite a while.

I don't think we saw Schilling at his best tonight. But we took advantage of it and that's what we have to do when a guy like that is not at the top of his game.
