Willie Randolph Gets Quotations

He's going to start in Triple-A. The experience is great for him. The more experience he gets at this level, he benefits from it. He loves to compete and he's not intimidated too much.

I saw him pitch lights out many times against the Yankees. We have to play this stuff out. I'm just being really positive about him because I know he can do certain things. But until he gets into this new environment playing for us, you don't know that.

I think he understands that he needs to make sure everything is right before he gets out there.

Things still could change, but Vic threw the ball well, ... As I said earlier, we'll evaluate as we go, but anytime a guy throws well, does well, he gets the upper hand.

Sometimes big hitters try to do too much. Sometimes he gets down on himself, but we keep him going. He's going to bust out of it.

It?s kind of a double-edged sword. You definitely want to be aggressive. but if you take pitches then he gets strike one on you; then he can go to work on you.

It's good news that he's getting back onto the field. But even when he starts playing extended spring training games, we still need to monitor how he looks. You want him, hopefully, swinging the bat well and have his legs under him so when he gets back, he can contribute.

It's unfortunate that every time he seems to get going he gets injured. It's frustrating because we can't keep him in the lineup.

I'm glad we got the win today. Jae Seo gets his next start. Then we'll wait and see how it plays out.
