If nothing else, Cubs reporters should get a lot of good quotes out of Dusty Baker. From the funny:
"I've been told a lot of things about him, mostly negative," Baker said. "When you are 26, good looking and single, you have a lot of temptations."
To the serious:
"Has he been here for a while with quality or has he been here for a while because he throws 100 mph?" he asked of Farnsworth.
Farnsworth has had one outstanding season, 2001. Otherwise, his K numbers aren't that impressive for someone with his velocity. Baker's putting pressure on Kyle, and rightfully so, since the payoff may be a reliever who can blow away the opposition.
