Perez was outstanding. That was the second one (good start) in a row. ... We just need that to be more contagious. |
Right now, there's nothing that's been said or done that he couldn't leave with us this spring. He's a talented young man with rooftop power. If we see he's comfortable in left field, who knows what can happen? A transition like that shouldn't be tough. |
Sandy has been around for a while and he has so much to offer. These kids we have in our organization are trying to absorb everything he says from the first day of Spring Training. Sandy knows where he is in his life right now and he has been nothing but beneficial for the ball club, whether he is in there playing or on the bench. |
That can happen as they work out together; it doesn't mean they have to play every spring game. They are professional enough that they can adjust in a short time. |
That crossed my mind. I was very fortunate that I ran across some people that didn't judge the job I can do managing just on the result of one decision. |
That doesn't matter to us. They've got good players who are capable of busting out. |
That play was unbelievable. It's hard to put into words how big that play was. |
That tells me a lot about the guy. He's done nothing but perform well. |
That's mostly from operating with a strange catcher. You see what it takes to get on the same page. I think we saw the beginning of that today. When a guy's got an assortment of pitches, they've got to learn each other. |
That's one of the tougher plays for a first baseman. I'm glad he experienced that in the game today. |
That's probably a little bit beyond our expectations. But he works hard and is a good student, and good things happen to people like that. |
That's what he needed, a game just like this. |
The doctors we have in L.A. have been doing this for a long time. They know what they're doing. |
The guy's been struggling. We figured if he takes the day off, watches us play and sits on the bench and just enjoys himself, with the day off today and the off-day tomorrow, we think we'll see a new man Friday. |
The kid, day in and day out -- every ball is just a bullet. Everything he does on the baseball field impresses me. |
