He's a man of character. Everybody should respect him as a person. Regardless of whether you agree with his policies, America's blessed to have someone like him in office. |
He's a pretty good pitcher. After seeing him pitch in Fort Myers the other day, our guys had a lot of confidence in him. They'd heard a lot about him, and everybody knows he's pitched in big games. It's nice to have him in the middle of our rotation. |
He's a professional hitter, he's a guy that's going to put the ball in play. He's a tough out when he comes up to bat; he's not going to give away at-bats. The thing that we've got right now, we've got quite a few veteran guys for our bench, which has a lot of pluses. |
He's a professional hitter. He's going to give you good at-bats. He's going to see a lot of pitches. |
He's a quality major-league pitcher. |
He's a veteran guy that you really like to see come up with guys in scoring position. He's a pro. He knows what he's doing. |
He's an outstanding baseball man. |
He's an outstanding person. Whether you believe in his policies or not, I think everyone should respect what kind of person he is. He is a man of character. |
He's basically going to have to go like we did in the old days and come off the DL and play. We're going to take it slow with him. We'll probably have a simulated game for him, but we'll think about all that after we get home [on Monday]. |
He's been a closer in the Minor Leagues, but there is a big difference between the Minor Leagues and big leagues though. We're not putting any pressure on him to say he's going to be the closer. Right now, we just hope he pitches well enough to make the club. |
He's been involved in baseball before as a minority owner with the (St. Louis) Cardinals. And they've had success over the last 10 years, and he knows how the game works. He has a great deal of passion and energy for baseball. He loves the game. |
He's been swinging well. I thought about putting him up higher. But he's hitting well at sixth or seventh. I really didn't want to mess with it. |
He's been swinging well. The last couple days, I thought about putting him up higher [in the order], but he's been hitting down in the order, sixth or seventh, and I didn't really want to mess with it. If they bring in somebody besides [Mark] Mulder, the way he's been swinging, I'd like to see him face him. |
He's been very consistent for us since the second start after the All-Star break. He keeps the ball down and is very effective. |
He's come a long way. He's just made great strides this year. |
