One thing I don't particularly want to do with him again is move him around a whole lot. It was just by necessity that we had to do something differently. A young guy like that, you want to lock him into a position.
More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
Javy kept fighting out there. He gave up a bunch of hits but made good pitches when he had to and got us through six innings, which at the time, I didn't think he had a chance.Bob Melvin
Two days after the season was over, he was in the cages. He worked all winter on a consistent approach, whereas last year, at times, he tried to tinker too much and do too many things. We're going to try and get him in there against left-handers, because he's had more success against them.

I wouldn't have double-switched and taken Hudson out of the game right there if we didn't have confidence in him. That was big for Andy, because he's the one guy that hasn't gotten a start. He feels like he's a contributor now. He feels a little more part of it.
