He was one of those five-tool guys. He could throw and run and hit with power, everything. He was green, 20 years old, a big kid. He made some mistakes. But we knew he was going to be a tremendous player, an MVP-type of guy. |
He was really tired, |
He was really tired. I don't expect him to play. Also, this outfield, you see young guys slipping and falling on the grass. I believe, all things considered, No. 25 won't see any action tomorrow. |
He was the king of the mound today. He was a very calm kid out there. Right now he's overpowering people with his fastball. There's going to be a time when he's going to have to go to the other pitches. And he will. |
He was tired. He did a couple things he hadn't done yet this spring. |
He was very sharp. He threw the ball hard, the same old Matt Cain. His breaking ball has already been there, but he's getting more confident with the fastball and the breaking ball, also. |
He'll be here [today]. I wasn't going to play him [today], so he won't play. If it is a mild strain of the elbow, then that's not a big deal. |
He'll probably pinch-hit for anybody in the lineup. |
He's a fiery type. When we had him in the minor leagues in Montreal, he was in competition with everybody, the umpires, the opposing teams. He reduced that a lot. I like Milton. Too bad we still have to face him. |
He's a super hitter, but we play in the National League. You've got to practice out in the field, too. I know he's not going to have any problems hitting the baseball. He never did. It's the other parts of the game, after not doing it since October of last year. |
He's a switch-hitter and is chubby like Andres. But he has great moves around third base. |
He's a tough kid. We're staying with him. |
He's a very good defensive shortstop. He's always been known as a guy who can really play defense. In spring training, he started showing he's really coming around as a hitter. |
He's a veteran guy, get his bat in the lineup. |
He's contributing big-time to our winning, being on base, prolonging the inning, giving a shot to the guy batting behind him. It happens every year. |
