He'll be fine. He's a good kid. Goes about his business. He's got a lot of teammates who can take him under their wing and I'm sure they'll do that. |
He'll be here in a couple days -- it might even be tomorrow, ... There's nothing in his contract about it. We just told him we wanted him back. We want him to come back and help us. |
He'll botch a few here and there. You can't have it all. But one thing about him, he'll work. |
He'll probably end up one day playing second base for us, possibly. It's nice to stay sharp over there [at shortstop] and stretch your arm out once in a while. |
He's a baby, so you don't want him to sit around here. He wouldn't be a utility player. |
He's a big guy and has a lot of moving parts. He has to be more consistent. The change in environment can be good for him. Just because you put a label on somebody with one team doesn't mean he'll be the same way with another team. |
He's a big guy, and there's a lot of moving parts. Hopefully, it can translate into something more consistent. |
He's a guy you feel you can trust in big spots because he's been there and he has the funk, |
He's a guy, overall, that gives us more assets in that spot. Miguel played well for us early in the year, and he can always go out there and grind and claw and do certain things. But he did come here to be backup guy. If Kaz can finish up strong, the way he's swinging right now, it would be nice for us. |
He's a stand-up guy, |
He's a veteran guy. He knows how to handle a pitching staff. |
He's a young player, and he's got some potential. It's always nice to know what you have in your system. |
He's been able to get himself out of trouble. That's important. He's shown me something. |
He's been doing his exercises and maintaining his back exercises, and from what I understand he's feeling real strong. The thing I like more than anything is that everyone's pretty healthy and that's nice to see right now. |
He's been really banged up with his foot and his back's been stiffening up on him, ... With over 220-something innings this year, I just felt like we'd kind of be cautious with him and he was starting to stiffen up. Couldn't really get loose during the game, so I took him out. |
