He'll tell you like it is. They told me Marquis was done when I was with the Giants four, five years ago. It's really a no-lose situation for us. |
He's a backup everything -- first, third, left and right. It's one day. He made some good plays. He's been battling the bad back. So he's playing third again [today against Colorado] to get him acclimated. |
He's a ballplayer. These are things a ballplayer does -- they run the bases well, they hit well, they throw, they throw to the right base, they steal a base. I think we're very fortunate to get such a talent at such a low price. |
He's a fine young man and he's going to be a very good ballplayer. |
He's a guy who wants to come here and do well. It seems the more you try, the worse it gets. |
He's a guy who's gotten better, |
He's a physical, mental and medical marvel. The unbelievable part is that you don't see any decline. If anything, you see an incline. |
He's ahead of schedule where he would be normally at this time because he knew what he had to do to get ready for the [World Baseball Classic]. We'll keep an eye on him. |
He's ahead of the pace from last year. Last year, his velocity wasn't nearly as good. |
He's as hard-working a guy as I've ever seen. He wants to do very, very good. Seems that no matter what he does, he still has the hunger and enthusiasm of a rookie. With that nature, that'll take him to great heights. I haven't been around him that long, but he appears to be a guy who's never satisfied with where he is. |
He's asked to get more English lessons. |
He's been hitting since he came into the organization. |
He's been throwing the ball pretty good. He's been better in relief than starting. He enjoys the role and wants to go on every trip, which is rare. He wants to go in case he can get in a game. |
He's been working with Tony Gwynn in the winter and you can't find a better guy than that to work with. He works hard, he appears to be an outstanding teammate. I think he'll be an excellent catch for us. |
He's concerned about fielding his position and running the bases and all that kind of stuff, ... For D-Lee not to be playing, you know it's got to be something. |
