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.

The first start of the year, there's a lot of focus on him. He wasn't hitting with his breaking ball. His command was off. That was all. He was in and out. He'd move the pitches and then he'd lose it. But he was OK.

He was the best we had out there. It was his game. Sometimes your best moves backfire and your worst moves don't. Naturally, if you make a decision and it doesn't work, the other move probably would've been better. That's just baseball.
John Gibbons
He had great stuff. He went out there a few times and pitched very good for us. He may have had a tender elbow at times. To be honest with you, it doesn't surprise me. We knew he could pitch.
