Guy Conti Quotations

Wait until it warms up. He's a feel pitcher. He feels the ball. When he feels the humidity on the ball, look out, because now he can put it where he wants it. His arm is in real good shape, but the feel of his pitches isn't there yet. When it gets there, he's going to be striking out 10 or 12 guys.

Just fundamental stuff. It's the right thing to do and the safe thing to do.

The guy is very loyal to his country and the people there. I know he wants to pitch in it, but he has to see where he is first. I don't think he'd do anything to jeopardize his Mets season.

When Pedro left at the end of the season, his weight was down 10-12 pounds. He has put that weight back on and is in great condition. He wants to do the same things he did last year in preparation for the season, the same program.

He's right on schedule and looking as strong as I've seen him.
