Mike Thibault
“He'll go. If he can go with a torn ligament, he can pitch with this. He's as tough as they come.”
Bobby Cox

Arsene Wenger
“It's feeling better but I haven't been throwing yet. With a slightly torn ligament, you can't rush that. We've got to make sure it's 100 percent before getting back out there.”
David DeJesus

Shawn Estes
