They are considered part-time players. Longevity is important. He has put up tremendous numbers and his timing for some hits are sure to help. In the end, it is production over time. I don't know if anyone is better right now than he is at what he does.
More Quotes from Terry Francona:
With him in the bullpen, the stability was really, really good. Even the games Schill had a tough time, we didn't have to use Mike Timlin so often at a time when Foulke went down. We might have run into some problems, but we didn't. It was really good for us. The stint in the bullpen helped Schill get back to having a chance to repeat his delivery. It worked out well for everybody. At the time, he just wasn't ready to be a starter. We tried to time it to when Foulke came back. We had to get him seven starts. Just three wouldn't be fair. But we said all along we wanted to get him back in the rotation.Terry Francona
Yeah, we talked about it afterward. Early in the game, if he had to do it over again, take the double play, give them the run, clean the bases and go from there.

Our bullpen looks really good.

The ball came out of his hand very well. I don't think he executed all of his pitches. He didn't look like he got tired. There are good days ahead.

It means we have one of the most dangerous hitters in the game hitting back-to-back with David Ortiz. When Manny gets hot, he's not going to hit singles. We hope he hits a bunch of homers.
Terry Francona
Oh yeah, that's huge, ... That was something we wanted to stay away from. That gets you in a tough situation - up and down, pitch, don't pitch. He'll pitch tomorrow and it's fairly normal, just like having an extra day.

Hollywood sold its stars on good looks and personality buildups. We weren't really actresses in a true sense, we were just big names - the products of a good publicity department.

I didn't spend a whole lot of time here, but I had the seven best years of my career in this city and having an attachment here 20-some odd years later is pretty special to me.
