Do the other one at home. |
Ellison has done everything. He's got the inside track. He's the favorite. |
Even if we don't win another game, we beat Superman tonight. When they bring him in, everybody knows the game is over. |
Even without Barry playing, we thought we were going to have a really good season. The effort was there. I don't have a guy to accuse of not hustling or not working hard all year. |
Finley is going to play even if everybody is healthy, and he is going to play center field when he plays. |
Finley will never be an old guy, not with that body. |
For several reasons, this spring has given a lot of guys opportunities to show what they've got. And they're doing it. It's been a fun thing to watch. |
Given the fact that Barry didn't play practically the entire season last year, we'd like to see him here early. But we can't bring a guy here by force before the first of March. |
Green was only 2-for-14 off him, and that was the Armando who was healthy. I want to see him get his feet wet. And then the bullpen will go the way we planned it, with [Tim] Worrell in setup. |
Greene threw out [the Padres'] Dave Roberts [on a steal attempt on] Sunday and called a good game with Noah [Lowry]. We know he's a good hitter and calls a good game. He's a very lively guy, and he happens to know this division well -- that's a plus here. |
He also hasn't been good with men on base lately. |
He can really pitch. He has worked hard and is a very smart guy. I [have] got to say that today he is right there striking out people, stopping rallies, fielding his position, getting base hits and challenging hitters. |
He can really pitch. This is a guy who two years ago bounced a lot of fastballs that fell short of the target. He has worked hard. ... Today, he is right there striking out people, stopping rallies, fielding his position, getting base hits and challenging hitters. |
He certainly has the package to be an everyday guy, we think. I don't know what will happen with Ray. I'm glad he's here. He had a pretty good season last year. I don't know what will happen next year. |
He could be a lot like Scott Eyre, ... He has the same type of breaking ball, a 92 to 93 mph fastball. You don't see too many bullpen guys like that. |
