Tiffany is a young pitcher who is still learning. We're finding out what he can and can't do at this level, and we just have to make a few adjustments.

He had an outstanding year in Puerto Rico. He's obviously carried that into the 2006 campaign.

He did so well, I made him our Game 1 starter in the playoffs. He impressed me enough to do that.

It seems like I've been gone a month. It's good to be back.

I wasn't going to send him back out for eight more pitches.

He had a hell of a year last year and put himself in position to get a job. That shows what hard work and dedication can do.
