Scott Olsen says he is fine

Scott Olsen pronounced his arm ready to go .

Scott Olsen's left arm was alive and well Tuesday, eliminating concerns he had about its health after his fastball was missing its usual zip in his last start.

''It feels fine,'' Olsen said after completing a bullpen session at Great American Ball Park. ``I wasn't trying to crank it up. But the ball was coming out of my hand good, and I could tell there was a little bit of life on it.

Excellent, if true.  Now, if we can just get the organization to quit making him pitch so many innings early in the season, we may be on to something.
