He looked ready to me. |
He may have been able to continue on with it, but he probably would have played the whole year with a sore foot. |
He might be one of the guys that's coming in that may surprise as we get deeper into this thing. |
He started as a middle infielder and actually became a corner guy because he's kind of a big guy, but he's got some agility. He's got really good feet, and when you have good feet you can do a lot of different things. |
He walked in, I gave him the ball and I said the runners don't count. He said something like: 'Fine. Let's go.' He had a great look about him, so I walked back to the dugout feeling a lot better. |
He was cutting his delivery off in the end, which really prohibits good command. You try to do too much. He wasn't missing by a lot, just on the inside edge a little bit. That kind of compounded on him and he was really never able to get that rhythm and groove. |
He was great. I like that he bent a little but he didn't break. He stayed out of the big inning and that's why he got the win. |
He was having a hard time throwing a strike. I felt it was the right thing to get him out of there. |
He was probably the least lionized coming into this situation. All of a sudden, he works some great at-bats, plays a great center field. |
He's a relief pitcher. He still has a chance to be ready for the season. |
He's also got a good way about him. |
He's an impressive young man. |
He's been reticent to do that. I don't know why. But we have to get him to do that, because when we do get him to do that, he's so good. That will open up the outside edge. |
He's everything he's supposed to be. |
He's everything he's supposed to be. I just feel blessed to be able to work for somebody like that, I really do. |
