BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

He's experienced ... He's pitched in big games before, he's pitched in the playoffs. You're not talking about a kid coming up that is a rookie and doesn't have a ton of innings under his belt in the big leagues. We're expecting him to throw well and keep us in the game and give us an opportunity. If he can go six innings it would be great.

Obviously, he's very excited to be back in the big leagues and to pitch for the club ... His plan and his focus was to make it back this year and, obviously, he worked extremely hard to put himself in this position.

Obviously his command wasn't there, his breaking ball wasn't sharp ... He's just got to get his stuff right.

I'm not worried about that ... I think he'll be welcomed with open arms. I'm not asking him to make amends. I'm just asking him to come and compete.

We're looking for any help we can get ... Ironically enough, we've never needed him more than now.
