It breaks it up a little bit -- gets them out there to face some competition. It gets the guys on the mound seeing hitters that are swinging and working on making some pitches. It revs things up a little bit.
More Quotes from John Gibbons:
Nobody likes or knows Phillips as much as I do. It's going to be really tough to break camp with the big-league club, barring an injury. Phillips at least has an out in his contract at the end of spring. He could go somewhere else. He can elect to leave and pursue other teams at the end of Spring Training. He likes it here. He'd love to play here, he said, and he had some other options this winter.John Gibbons
I expect, once he settles in -- it may takes him a couple hitters, it may take him an inning or two -- once he gets over that, he should be fine. We're not going to yank him at the first sign of trouble because he's here and he's got to learn how to pitch in those situations.

The platoon is still on. He's just hit Javier Vazquez good. That's all. Nothing more than that. And he's playing good.

He's coming in Tuesday, I believe. They took his daughter home. She's OK. I'm pretty sure he's going to be back tomorrow. I think it was some kind of virus that affected her respiratory system, but I don't know that for a fact.

It would be a big blow if it's something serious. We're hoping not. But I mean, even if it's nothing serious it's going to set him back. We don't know for how long. I mean, we're pulling for the kid. And if it's something serious, then we've got to make adjustments like we did last year.

He's getting better. He may do a couple little things here today. I think, by the end of the weekend, we'll get him out there, let him take some ground balls. He's still a few days away, anyway.
