One of the things I love about Mark, Mark attacks his weaknesses. He turned himself into a Gold Glove first baseman. A lot of people would have used the position change as an excuse. He's very driven, a self-starter.

Our guys had a lot of fun tonight. I thought we got good at-bats and Gary (Matthews) had a big one for us.

Padilla has been very fluid with his motion, free and easy. He's had a pretty good face since he's been here. He knows some people in the organization and he likes the place and the weather. He has had a smile on his face, which is not always the case with him.

People looked at us funny when we put Mark at first base and people looked at us funny when we put Mike [Young] at shortstop. How do you find out? I almost look at it as an opportunity that he can take advantage of for his sake.

That's just where he fell.

That's not unusual to see that in Spring Training, but it was down. I'm sure he felt it [on Sunday], but he didn't tell us until today.

That's something every team will have to deal with. This is one of those Spring Trainings when you just have to roll with the punches.
|
That's something we're looking at. A lot depends on how we're constructing our club at the end of the spring.
|
That's the biggest play of the game. That and the walks. We scattered around a lot of hits, and they scattered around some hits and some walks. They have a formidable lineup and do enough damage without us walking them.
|
That's what you want to see at the top of the lineup. Plus, the position is changing, especially in the American League, to one that produces runs. He certainly is a strong candidate.

The ball sails pretty good out there,
