He was making progress at the end of last year, too, so it's not like all of a sudden he's just back. He's made a steady progression, he's worked very hard, and he's back at a point where he could be a legitimate contender for these spots [in the rotation]. - Tim Purpura Quotes

This is the first step in the process. He's supposed to report Feb. 23. We have a month. What does all this mean? Jeff has stated he is going to report. We have to figure out where everything else stands. - Tim Purpura Quotes

Last year obviously our pitching wasn't as strong, particularly when we came back to St. Louis, ... And so I think that certainly the tenor and the mood is very positive at this point. - Tim Purpura Quotes

Two years ago, he was on course, and then had some injury issues the next year that held him back. He had a good year last year, and these days, the key to this coming season is to build on what he started last year. - Tim Purpura Quotes

You close the roof, you get a lot of continuity with the conditions. You don't have issues that come up that could affect you. There's a comfort level that our players have. We play with it closed most of the time, anyway. Players are creatures of habit -- you don't want to start changing things dramatically once you get in the playoffs. - Tim Purpura Quotes

I know he's a free swinger, but at least half his strikeouts this spring have been looking. That leads me to believe that he's trying to be more aware of the strike zone.

He's making progress. We thought he could maybe play catch today. He's one I'd really like to get here, get him on the mound for a bullpen to test the quad. The quad is like a rib-cage muscle. It takes a long time to heal. - Tim Purpura Quotes
