Larry Rothschild Quotes

You'd like to see him get three or four starts down here. You have to remember after he hardly pitched last spring he only missed one start until hit by the line drive. Maybe he's just not a spring-training guy. It'll ease everybody's mind once he gets into action. - Larry Rothschild

You want to build up innings. He could throw one inning [in a game] and throw 30 pitches and we'd have to get him out of there. - Larry Rothschild

You could see there was more quickness to his arm. He just looked more comfortable throwing the ball. - Larry Rothschild

You can tell he wants to get back as soon as he can. He has worked hard to do it. - Larry Rothschild

With mechanics, you have to remember, he's done this his whole life. To try to get him ready mechanically different for a Major League season is not an easy thing.

When I took the job four years ago, it was with winning in mind, and we haven't accomplished that. So I felt an obligation to ... the organization. I like Chicago. I'm from there, and our kids love being there, and there's no place like Wrigley Field. - Larry Rothschild

When his arm speed comes back, his slider is going to be close to what it used to be, and we saw that (Monday). If he comes in (today) and feels good, we are probably looking at a three-inning game in the rookie league in Arizona on Thursday. After that, we'd like to get him up to four or five innings and think about where we've got to go with him. - Larry Rothschild
