Pat Gillick Pitching Quotations

He's had a good spring. Coming into Spring Training, I didn't have any expectations for him, because he didn't have a good 2005 season, and didn't pitch particularly well in Puerto Rico. He exceeded my expectations, because he wasn't a guy who would've even been considered for somewhere in the pitching staff.

I want to win, and whatever the manager and the pitching coach think it takes, we'll go in that direction.

I think Charlie has done a good job in keeping a good feeling and a good attitude in the clubhouse. The players are still very upbeat. We haven?t performed as well as we wanted from a pitching and offensive standpoint. But I don?t think that can be laid at the feet of the manager.

We're trying to add more depth to our pitching staff and give Charlie more people to look at in spring training.

Everybody's looking for pitching and there's not a lot of pitching out on the market. Consequently, it's economics.
