Honestly, that will happen only because the youngsters are doing well. Maybe if somebody is not doing well and they want to make some kind of move and you want to bring these guys along slowly. I'm OK with something like that.
More Quotes from Joe Maddon:
I don't know that. I have to see the games. And I rely a lot on what people have told me, too. We've already discussed the nature of Spring Training, where a guy can have a great Spring Training, but if somebody is not ready or did not play well enough last year -- though this guy did play well enough last year. So I'm going to rely on other information on this one, too.Joe Maddon
Somebody needs to find out the logic behind this, because I don't get it.

I think it's better that way, actually. He doesn't have much time to think about it. He's a little bit excited. I told him that's OK, being nervous is normal. The only thing I asked him to do was not change anything. I just want him to pitch like I saw him pitch in the spring.

This is just purely hypothetical. If he's the fifth starter with the second day of the season being an off-day, you won't have to use him until the second time around. So you can get a little simulated game or something more on the side, a bullpen session. There's different things you can do to take care of that. If he just stays well, there should be no problem. If he gets to the point where he's hurting again, that would obviously cause an entirely different scenario.

Then hopefully, by the time we go on the road, he might be ready for us. Maybe by the Oakland series.

Honestly, everybody liked him in spring training. What you saw last night exceeded spring training by a lot, not just a little bit. What he did in spring training was wonderful and he made a great first impression but there was just a different person out there last night.
