He's right in that group that has been around baseball three, four years now, experience-wise. … This kid is a college kid. It's not like he's out of high school, so I would think they can be aggressive with him."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Hasn't pitched yet as in... in a ST game? Or as in hasn't thrown a baseball this year?
