I'm holding that back because if I need him the second game, I'm going to use him to try to win.

We proved to the people of Italy and to the Italian federation that we can play at this level. We can play with the big boys.

You look at that lineup, it's an all-star lineup at every position.

You have to understand that was the first outing he's had all spring. You're probably not going to have your best command in your first outing. I thought he kept us in the game and that's all we really wanted from him.

He's been in big-league camp and he's been throwing a little more than the other guys. He can probably give us more innings at this point than most of the guys. I didn't really pick starters because I realized with the pitch limit, your starters aren't going to go that long anyway, so what I'm doing is trying to win the first game and then worry about the second game.
