Add this to the mix as well:

Adam Giardino was probably my favorite WHUS sports broadcaster. He was the WHUS sports director just prior to Chris Jones. Giardino and fellow WHUS announcer Eli Pearlstein were a great pair together, and provided some absolutely wonderful (and hilarious) commentary in 2010 of the NCAA baseball regionals in Norwich.

Among other questions:
MLB Pipeline: I know you recently got on the mound and pitched to batters for the first time in, well, a while. How's everything going this spring? What additional steps do you still need to make in your rehab and recovery?

Kay: I'm fully good to go, feeling stronger than ever. I'm just excited for the season to get going, finally, and for me to pitch in games. [The Mets] have done a good job treating me this spring like I'm just a normal person, but if they see something, they definitely will slow me down. So far I've been good to go and haven't had many complaints.

MLB Pipeline: What are you most looking forward to this year?

Kay: I just want to throw, man. I want to log some innings and stay healthy, really.
