00:00 - Well, I don't see us having the Landon Sims guy.

00:03 You know, it's not gonna be one guy slamming the door.

00:06 I think there's a lot of little pieces

00:07 back there right now.

00:09 I think as we figure out who the weekend rotation is,

00:13 there's a lot of competition there.

00:15 Then the odd man out may be getting to that point.

00:17 The odd man out will probably be real pissed

00:19 at that point, having to go there.

00:21 That's just how it goes.

00:21 Everybody wants to be a starter.

00:23 But I think we have a lot of pieces back there coming back.

00:25 You know, Stone's in the process of coming back.

00:27 So Stone Simmons has done it.

00:29 He was a closer here.

00:30 I feel real comfortable with him.

00:31 You know, you got a guy like Cam Schulke,

00:35 who our fans haven't seen Cam,

00:37 but he was fireman of the year last year in junior college

00:40 and won a national championship.

00:42 He was all Cape Cod reliever for two years,

00:45 so he's done it against good pitchers.

00:47 The thing with Cam is, I don't know if he's a closer,

00:50 which he can close, or is he just the guy

00:52 to win the game in the seventh when everything's on fire?

00:55 You know, I think you can use Cam in so many ways.

00:58 You know, we got Pico coming back,

01:00 and Pico is getting real close.

01:03 And I think a guy like Pico,

01:05 not being that he can't throw 75 pitches,

01:08 probably as he's coming back,

01:10 I think Pico could be a real candidate there.

01:11 He's looked really.
