He brings a lot of experience and has done some very good things as a coach. His resume really jumped out. |
He had a shaky start, then he really settled down and pitched well. |
It was really a pitcher's battle, with some really good defensive plays. It was just a really good high school ball game. |
It was strictly his decision. We did his evaluation before Christmas, and he said he was thinking about resigning. I told him to think it through and if he wanted to, we'd like a letter in the first week of January. |
Joey will be ready to play. He's a tough kid. The hand might be a little tender for a while and it could give him a little trouble when he grips the bat, but it's not broken. And it's not his pitching hand. |
Pitching should be a strength for this team. We have three guys that can throw in the mid 80s and two others that we think will do well. |
The thing about Joey is that he sprays the ball. He's not just a power hitter that pulls the ball. |
We're going to open it up and consider candidates from inside the building and outside. |
We're very close. We've offered someone the position. We should know in the next day or two. |
We've been cleared by the health department. |
