There is only one way to find out and we had this opportunity to let him go out there. The biggest thing is to get his bat in the lineup. |
There's a little concern about who's going to play first. |
There's a lot of different ways to do it. That's something we'll sit down and discuss. |
There's a lot of stuff that would have to be settled out before anyone has interest in him. |
There's no such thing as a secret in sports. They did a good job against one of the best pitchers in baseball. Ninety-nine percent of the stuff that's talked about doesn't happen. |
There's not any phase of the game Mark wants to be mediocre in, ... He could be a guy who will steal you 10 or 15 bases a year. |
These are some of our best players, the best young prospects in our system. These are guys who will play at the Major League level and contribute. |
These things have a way of working themselves out over a 162-game season. |

They had seen him before and that's what makes it even more impressive. They obviously had a good idea what he was going to try to do. |

They swung the bats well. We did too, but we needed a lot more (runs) than we had today to equal them. |
They're an impatient group, and I say that with admiration. Mentally, our guys are in a great spot and a great frame of mind about what they want to get out of this season as individuals, and more importantly, as a team. |
