You see a guy who can help you. There are so many parts to put this team together that you don't know exactly how it's going to turn out. But [Stokes has] a bat that can help you. We've got to make a judgment around March 31 if that bat can help you. It's a big bat. There is a lot of potential there. |
You want to protect these young kids. He had a good day, and you want to give him a day to feel good about himself. |
You want to see kids grow up, and the only way to grow up is to get comfortable in tough situations you'll be in. |
You win with pitching, and there are some really great arms in this camp. I can't wait until we get going in the games and see the progress they make. |
You worry it's a knee or an ankle, and fortunately he just got a little spike. He'll be fine. |
You've got to go along with what your strength is. |
You've got to learn how to play this game. And a lot of our guys are being asked to learn this game at this level. That's what you have in young players. They are smart kids, they are going to learn. |
Young guys bounce back. Fans are smart enough to know you're not going to win every game. I think everyone that was here today will be back at some point. |
Youth is fun to watch, because you get to see them grow. It's like when you see your daughter or son take that first step. |
