Mike Scioscia Year Quotations

He's been playing great. I think he's got to be a candidate. With the type of year he's having, you'd have to consider him.

Esteban is throwing the ball better than he had at any point last year so that is encouraging. There is going to be some decision to made that may or may not involve Esteban, but there is competition at every level. As long as he throws the ball like he is capable, then he should be a part of it. He had some rough spots last year.

He's a special pitcher. If you look at what he's accomplished from the middle of last year till now, I don't think there's a pitcher who can match what he's done.

Fin's very frustrated, ... We're all very frustrated with the year Fin's having. No one feels it more than Fin.

We are at the point of the year where if you push him back, it could mean one less start at the end of the year. We need to make sure that he can pitch. If we do push him back, we want to make sure we have the matchups we need at the end of the season.
