Jason Schmidt on the same program with everybody else

He looks great, feels great and sounds great. He also said he would like to be in the starting rotation when the season starts … and Joe Torre also said he would like the same thing.
“I would like to believe that,” Torre said. “I can’t say for sure, because he hasn’t competed for a while. But I hope he can be that guy because of his experience.”
Schmidt said he is treating this like any other spring training, just trying to get ready for the season.
“I just want to go out and pitch,” he said. “I want my kids to see me pitch. That is the biggest thing for me. I have a 5-year-old son who has never seem Dad throw before, and if he has, he doesn’t remember it.”
