He seems a lot more comfortable [than he did last year], and he's slowed down a little more. He's able to think out there while he's pitching. He still has a great deal of fire going, but he seems to have better command of his stuff. |
He seems pretty confident, ... It's evidenced by the fact that he'll throw any pitch in any count at any time in the game. We needed him to fill a spot and he's given us much more than we could've hoped for. He seems to be strong as an ox. |

He seems to be happy melting into the woodwork. He doesn't seem to be high-maintenance. |
He seems to be more at ease. Everybody has a different personality and it's a matter of being able to communicate. You don't try and change anybody, you find the level you need to communicate on. |
He seems to be pretty sure of himself as far as what he needs. I thought for the last five games he's been swinging the bat real well. |
He seems to be relaxed. He has a great deal of talent. |
He seems very comfortable with himself. |
He sort of wanted a sense of how important he was for us and how serious we were. After my conversation, I thought he felt content that we wanted him back. |
He started spring training today. |
He started trying to force it a little bit and it didn't get any better. It didn't look like he was getting any more comfortable, so I went and got him. |
He still has plenty to give, other than being a day-in, day-out player. It would be unusual to face him in another uniform, but it is unusual for him not to be in the lineup everyday, hitting second or third, too. Things change. |
He still throws all his stuff. Even though it's flat ground, he still throws all his pitches. |
He threw the ball real well but when something like that happens to you there is not much you can do about it. Once you get a little stiff - it's all based upon being loose and letting the ball go - you certainly don't want a chance of hurting somebody. |
He thrives on that, but without having as much in the bank as he had for us last year, you knew that he probably wasn't as confident, even though he was as determined. You still have to do it to feel good about yourself. |
