He has a ways to go, |
He has an aggressive, sensible mind-set at third when waving home a runner, and that's what I like. It's a matter of being completely aware of the situation, and he always is. |
He has been doing extremely well with this [rehab] program with his shoulder, and is throwing. We're going to continue to allow our medical people to finish the job with that. But in the meantime he's completely available to hit. We're going to DH him when we have a chance to do so to get him some at-bats. |
He has competed very well. He's been very aggressive. He's not afraid to go after people. That's what we want here. |
He has handled the situation very professionally and he's made a big fan out of me because of that. It's great to have a player like him on the bench that you can put into the lineup and the other team knows he's a significant factor to contend with. |
He has not had a bad at-bat since he's been here, ... His stock has risen, from my standpoint. |
He has the pitches ... his versatility is tremendous. It enhances your opportunities as far as when a major-league club looks at the 25 guys that you head to Milwaukee with. |
He has to be, and should be, proud of the spring training he's had. |
He is having one tremendous spring. |
He is not swinging completely pain-free, ... He does have some soreness and stiffness. |
He is on a mission to pitch himself into this rotation, and right now he is succeeding. |
He is really coming along. He's been really good. |
He just needs to realize that you can't allow the environment to change your approach. |
He looked a lot like the Zach Duke we saw last year, and that's a very good sign. You saw a guy who is spearheading himself in the direction he wants to go in. |
He made a very good pitch to Linden. In other circumstances, it's a bat that's broken in half and a soft single to right field, but as a result of the sacrifice bunt that followed a walk, it was a game-winning hit. |
