He was ready to go. He said, 'I have no problem pitching on three days' rest. |
He was real impressive. He wanted a complete game real bad. It's nice to see. He's had a great attitude all year, and he's worked extremely hard. He probably does more conditioning than anyone else on the team. |
He was really excited after that game on Aug. 31 and he was playing in September. He was talking about that. He was really excited about being able to go into September playing. |
He was up in the zone, but he's going to be fine. |
He wasn't 100 percent at times and he kept pitching and trying to pitch through it. I think his legs just not being 100 percent last year didn't help him at all. |
He won 10 games last year (for Pittsburgh). He had to do something right. |
He won't get a start out there. But I can see him finishing a game in the outfield. |
He would need some rehab time to face hitters, no matter what. And we just don't have the innings for him to begin with. |
He'd probably be well enough to pitch today if he didn't have to make any quick movements. We couldn't see any reason to bring him over here and have to field a bunt or cover first when he's not 100 percent. |
He'll be able to pinch-run and play the outfield. I don't think he's close to being 100 percent with the bat. |
He'll be out here as much as he can with us. |
He'll be the fourth outfielder. He did a great job pinch-hitting for Arizona a year ago. He's very experienced in that role. |
He'll be with us as much as he can this spring and go from there, basically. |
He's a great competitor, he's fearless. He'll throw any pitch over at any count. You're not going to see a lot of 2-0, 3-1 cookies - he's going to make guys hit his pitch, he's not going to give in to guys. |
He's a great competitor. He's fearless. He can throw any pitch for a strike at any count. He doesn't give in to guys. |
