He may have just a hit a wall. |
He needed that. It got us back in the game. |
He needs a few more mph. It's still spring training for him; he'll build his arm strength. |
He picked up right where he left off, didn't he? |
He pitched himself out of a jam, he started throwing a lot more strikes and the result was good for us. He gave us what we needed. He gave us six strong innings. We had a nice lead and we turned it over to the bullpen. |
He probably won't be ready. |
He probably won't be ready. It's probably going to be 10 days or two weeks. |
He reacts the way Jeter did 10 years ago. If he makes an error or makes a bad play on the bases, he doesn't let it affect him. |
He runs hard and he looks like he's a player that is going to be in the big leagues. He's going to make himself necessary. He does a lot of good things and he's aggressive in a lot of ways. |
He rushes things a little bit sometimes. But he's going to get better. |
He said he felt like he was in the middle of Spring Training. So basically strength is what we are looking for. We're probably dealing with a couple of weeks away. |
He said he'd come out and take batting practice, but I called him and told him, 'Why don't you just stay home,' ... It will probably benefit him more to just not show up at the ballpark. He'll come back here tomorrow and maybe be a breath of fresh air. |
He said it was pretty chewed up. |
He said, 'You know, I can pitch out of there, too,' pointing to the bullpen. He understands. I have an easy job, because all the people involved understand the situation. |
He says, 'Whatever you want me to do,' but he did allow me the fact that center field is probably his most comfortable position. He gets a jump even though he's not overly fast. |
