We understand he picked up his visa and will be here [on Thursday] some time. We don't know the exact time, but he is en route. |
We want everyone in camp because there is a progression that everyone needs to go through, and Frankie is no exception. |
We want to fold Jeff in there and see how he's going to adapt. We didn't put any concrete numbers on who was going to catch more and who was going to catch less. We're going to need them both, and obviously if Jeff grows into the position and he's performing better, he's going to get a lot more playing time. |
We want to look at a couple of things. Right now, until some depth appears, we have to mix and match. Against left-handers, Garret will bat in front of Vlad, and against right-handers, Vlad will bat in front of Garret. |
We want to make sure that when Bart gets back on the mound, he's ready to be there for a long time. |
We want to see where (Escobar) is with the nail in two-three days. We'll make the decision as quickly as possible to prepare whoever is going to start. |
We watched him very closely down the stretch. ... (But) he has been incredible the games he pitched ...to get us into the playoffs, the job he did against the Yankees. He just keeps going. |
We were facing a real potpourri of pitchers, ... Everyone who came in the game made good pitches. All of those guys, they've got some good young arms. Woodyard had good stuff. Fortunately, we got to them late. |
We were fortunate to get out of the sixth with no damage. [Romero] did a good job. |
We were in grind mode the whole year and got it done. This game's funny. It turned in a heartbeat. It could have turned the other way. |
We were not very good on the mound. That was the story. |
We weren't going to . . . make a compromise on what we needed to do tonight, ... to worry about tomorrow. |
We will bounce back and play a good game [Sunday]. I know this club. |
We won the division and Jarrod had a huge part in that. He poured his heart out there all year and held up his end. At times, he might have struggled with a few things, but we know what he can do. We saw it in 2002. It's still in there. |
We won't know for a couple days, but we don't anticipate him missing a start. |
