He's day to day. He's no better or worse than he was yesterday. |
He's doing fine. You always want him further ahead than he is but in our minds, he's right where he should be at this time. There have been no setbacks, his rehab is going well. He hasn't been off the mound yet, but right now we're satisfied with his progress. |
He's doing pretty well. We feel very fortunate. It could've been a lot, lot worse. I guess Michael has a hard head. |
He's done the best that he can. He's busted it. [Whether he'll come back] is something that really hasn't been discussed yet [and won't] be discussed until we have organizational meetings and decide who's available -- are the [free agents] out there a better fit than who we have? |
He's done well for me. What he's done has excited me. He's going to the fall league and was thinking about Puerto Rico. |
He's down there to play, but we're here to win. I have to talk to Jim and figure out who's the best for us. |
He's earned it. It couldn't happen to a finer young man. The whole city of Sacramento is probably proud of him. |
He's getting more confident, more control of the strike zone, more confidence to throw any pitch in any count. That's what you call progress and what you like to see of the young man. |
He's given us a lot of quality, period, |
He's going to be a fine, fine player. It's just a matter of when we clear that spot for him, and do we hold somebody in reserve in case he doesn't do it. |
He's going to get better. It's a big jump from Double-A to the big leagues. He's hit everywhere he's been. If you've hit everywhere you've been, you should hit where you're going. |
He's going to have nerves -- that's natural. Hank Aaron told me when I came up, 'It's natural to be nervous. Just don't be scared.' You wouldn't be human if you weren't nervous. But after you throw that first pitch or two, your nerves subside and it's the same game. |
He's going to hit. You don't usually stop hitting, and if you do, then somebody's in trouble, because a lot of hits are coming. |
He's going to play now because we're out of outfielders, ... This is an opportunity to salvage the season. |
