He was uncomfortable. He was not responsive. So he left himself open to take damage from people who would have liked him to handle it differently. |
He was underrated by the so-called experts. When we got him, people in the American League called me telling what an impact player we had. He isn't underrated by people wearing a uniform. |
He wasn't selling drugs; he just had drinks. He's not a bad person, not an evil guy. He just likes to have a good time and made some mistakes and used bad judgment. You can grow out of that if you're determined to. |
He went 2-0 twice, but got outs. It's just good to get back to him. |
He will play in the big leagues. When? I don't know. |
He won the game for us. That game could have been blown open. The game was there, and somehow he strikes those three guys out. He's having a great year for us. |
He won't make this team. He's a guy that's taking the extra at-bats, and I think it's been really good for him and us, but he's working at a new position and the guys ahead of him [need to play]. I'm not going to put him on the bench [to be a] part-time player. |
He worked out, I watched some of it. Unless I go in there and find out something that wasn't obvious, I expect him to start. |
He would be the kind of guy that if he hit eighth against us, I would be really concerned. He can get a base hit, he's got good speed in front of the pitcher. ... He does a lot of good things. |
He´s had another great year, the ERA stands for itself, ... I would never say anything to take away from Roger´s year, but I think Chris has got everything working for him. ... His level of outstanding work is just getting better and better and better. He started good, and he´s gone to great. |
He'd work on guys' breaking balls. He'd coach guys when he was playing. We had a shot at him [as pitching coach]. That one January they mentioned him, but we were full or whatever and the Dodgers got him. |
He'll be very good for the Atlanta Braves. He didn't quite jell in that Boston situation, but he can play anywhere. So many people have exaggerated that year. |
He's a craftsman, a surgeon. He can carve you up. |
He's a day farther along. Reggie, he's the perfect guy to ask. |
He's a good weapon to have. He earned the job. It's nice to be able to give him playing time. |
