Dodgers' Joe Torre declines Hong-Chih Kuo's offer to pitch Friday

Reporting from Atlanta —
On the night Hong-Chih Kuo was named the Dodgers'
new closer, he told Manager Joe Torre he was available to pitch.
Torre's response: Thanks, but no thanks.
"He volunteered last night, but we weren't going to go there," Torre said.
Kuo, who has had four elbow operations, had pitched Wednesday and Thursday.
Pitching Friday was out of the question.
Figuring out how often to use Kuo in the ninth inning will be part of the
challenge Torre will face as he waits for All-Star Jonathan Broxton to
reclaim the role.
"Whether he's pitching in the seventh, eighth or ninth inning, his arm
doesn't know the difference," trainer Stan Conte said. "He assumes the risk
no matter what role he's in."
Torre said he will continue to limit Kuo's time on the mound and has
identified Octavio Dotel as the preferred closing option on days Kuo isn't
available.
"I think Joe's done a good job with Kuo this year and I think he'll continue
to do a good job with him while putting it all in perspective, which is a
difficult thing to do," Conte said.
Despite Kuo's dominance, Torre resisted the urge to use him on consecutive
days through the All-Star break. Kuo, who was an All-Star, pitched on
successive days for the first time Aug. 7-8. He has done that only once
since, on Wednesday and Thursday.
The two times Kuo pitched on consecutive days, he was in for only one-third
of an inning on the second day.
Kuo, who has said for the last 2½ years that he assumes that any pitch he
throws could be his last, wouldn't say how frequently he thought he could
pitch.
"I don't know," he said. "I go day by day, you know?"
