""Well, he's not gonna pitch in the WBC, but he will be ramping up his arm to get ready for this season and I think for me is I don't know how many innings he threw last year, but obviously with the full offseason going north of what he did last year," Roberts said. "I wasn't surprised, so I can't even say I was relieved. I think that he wants to, understanding what he did last year, what he had to go through to then, how best to prepare himself for 26 to do both, it just seemed like the right decision, so I wasn't surprised and feel really good about it.""
