He's been tremendous. We took our time with him (in) a simulated game first. He came in and has thrown the ball lights out. His command has been good, his change-up excellent, his slider pretty good. Really the only pitch that's given him any trouble is his split.
More Quotes from Ken Macha:

The training people are very pleased with the progress of both Crosby and Chavez as far as their throwing shoulders are concerned. Chavez has been throwing a lot, and says he feels great. Crosby felt good throwing. We're just going to take our time with that. We'll stretch them out a little farther.

If you're doing a large, complicated character with radio controls, it might take a number of people several months to make it and if you're talking about a quick little hand puppet, it could be made in 2 days, so there's enormous range there, and no real easy generalities.
