I don't want him to carry that into the season with a tender arm, and you probably saw some throws yesterday that weren't quality throws. That was an alarm to me to get him out of there and try to get this thing right.
More Quotes from Frank Robinson:
He may come back from this and be able to compete. But if they go in there and operate, he's done for the season. If it does work, we'll lose him for a month or so, and that's about it. Maybe two months at the most, but you would have him for the rest of the season if he holds up, which is another gamble. It's worth the gamble to try this first.Frank Robinson
He's a professional. He takes the ball. He's not always healthy when he goes out there, but he doesn't complain about it. He just gives you the best he can possibly give you. It was the same way last year, even though we were really trying to protect him with that knee, he still wanted to throw as many innings as he possibly could.

Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn't let that pitcher get me out. They say you can't hit if you're on your back, but I didn't hit on my back. I got up.

We are not going to put any high expectations on this kid, but I think you'll see that he's above the average young player coming into the league. He is going to do some things that are going to surprise you and scratch your head. We are going to let him play.

Just focus on playing the game. Go out and do your jobs. If you do, maybe some people will come out. If not, you can't do anything about it anyway.
