"I feel a little bit more complete. I think that year I just had however many starts where I was just executing pitches when I needed to - getting to a certain count and making the pitch. I feel a little bit more complete [now], I have more weapons and I'm going to try and keep it going."
"Elder has been working a cutter into his arsenal and while it's not the pitch that he's been using to put away batters, he's used it as a solid complimentary pitch aside from his usual arsenal."
