Dave Dombrowski

He needs a little bit better command than what he had.

He used to have great command.

It wasn't quite as good this year.

That's when he primarily got hurt.

It wasn't because of his stuff.

And normally when you trace back to a lot of people that have had Tommy John, that's the last thing that comes back.

So we're optimistic that with a regular off-season training program and getting ready to come into season that he'll be able to regain that.

Well, not.

I mean, it'll be different for one part.

We have a closer.

I mean, so that's big difference.

So somebody who's going to get the ball in the ninth inning, then you build around that.

Strom did solid.

He made a couple bad pitches in the postseason, but he had a good year for us.

Banks did a good job for us from the left-hand side.

Alvarado we talked about.

I'd be surprised without making any announcements that Alvarado's not back with us, but we'll see what ends up happening.

We like Kirkering from the right-hand side.

We have to work through those issues.

David Robertson's not gonna be back with us to start the season.
