Pat Gillick Spring 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.

He's getting better. I thought this spring that he didn't indicate to me that he was that type of (one-dimensional) hitter. He indicated to me that he was a lot better.

He'd be the most likely guy in the group. But a lot depends on what we do leading up to Spring Training.

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

He threw OK. He's going through Spring Training really; that's what it is. So far his health is good.

The important thing is to build his arm strength. We want to keep him on track. He's going through Spring Training, because he really didn't get a lot of activity in the spring.
