He's been a notoriously slow starter, but you can't let yourself get caught up in that. He's not, but that's been the history of the way he performs. He's working hard. Sometimes, he gets a little too cerebral at the plate and starts thinking too much. When that happens, everything seems to slow down. |
He's been anxious to do this. |
He's been pretty special. Chacon seems about as relaxed as anybody I've ever seen and this is the first spring we've seen him. |
He's been pretty special. Talk about arriving in a short period of time - I go out to get him [in Game 4 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium] and they boo me. But he pitched so well [two runs and four hits in 6 1/3 innings] that it didn't surprise me. |

He's been running into walls for a while, so I'm just giving his legs a couple of days off. With everything he does with his legs and his feet on the offensive side, I decided to give him another day. |
He's been sharp. We've got to wait and see. Based on his last few starts, it's tough not to want him here. |
He's been spectacular, ... absolutely no room to breathe. |
He's been struggling with his swing. He hasn't been happy with it at all. |
He's better, but I want to give it another day or so. |
He's chomping at the bit to do more than we're letting him do. |
He's come up in situations and you say, |
He's cool. He's having a good time. He just really told people a lot more with this last start than we learned since he came over from Colorado. Obviously, we needed every bit of it. Now we can reunite with Moose again because we haven't seen him in about five days. |
He's dealing with a lot of young kids, so I think his patience will win out in that area, too. He doesn't miss much. He certainly has plenty of energy. Last year, he gave me far more information than I needed, but that's how prepared he is. I think he's going to do well. |
He's different. I don't know about crazy. But he's different. |
