He showed us a lot. He's going to help us sometime this season. |
He was dominating, pounding the strike zone with velocity over 90. But it wasn't so much the velocity but the command, velocity and the delivery. |
He's a kid who's still developing, but I think he has a chance to be a decent pitcher. ... So let's give him a chance. |
He's a special kid. David is someone you build around not only as a player but also as a person. |
He's a threat to beat you in so many different ways. |
He's a young guy. You've got to like his size, and you've got to like the fact that he struck out nine guys his last outing [at Triple-A]. We feel like he's still developing and has a chance to be a decent pitcher. |
He's got pretty good pop tonight. |
He's healthy. He pitched winter ball and is throwing the ball well. He feels good about himself. |
He's telling us that he's feeling better but that there's still discomfort there. |
Hopefully, he won't pitch like this for very long. We're at a point right now where he needs to give us a solid outing. |
I always said we were one good road trip from being with everybody. |
I don't believe in closing doors. |
I don't have a timetable. But I will tell you I am encouraged by the way he threw today -- just the overall aggressiveness, the overall rhythm. We are still in the early days of March, so let's see how the whole month goes along. |
I don't know if he could rebound, but to bring in a guy with his history on a minor league contract, I figured, what is there to lose? There's something about Bret that I've always liked. He wants to prove that last year was not his year. |
I don't know if he could rebound. It's worth a chance. We're signing him to a minor-league contract. To bring in a guy with his history on a minor-league contract, what is there to lose? |
