He's all right. We're just being precautionary. He was feeling better today when I talked to him. |
He's all right. We're just being precautious. He'll be fine. |
He's been in the fire, but we're trying not to overexpose him. We're letting him get his feet wet. But for the most part, he'll be one of the guys we go to. |
He's better already, no question about it. That doesn't mean guys aren't going to make errors. |
He's going to be surprised at some things, but I think he's going to do great. |
He's got a chance because I'll take the 25 best players, It's early. A lot of things can happen. |
He's got a lot of equipment. He's not just some guy that goes out there and rears back and throws it. He can throw it pretty hard when he does, but if you go out there and throw 97, 97, 98, 99 with nothing else with it to a team like Cleveland or most any other team in the big leagues, they're going to rock it around. |
He's got a real good look about him. He's a confident player. I like the way he goes about his business. |
He's got good hands. This guy's a pretty good athlete. I know he's a professional hitter. |
He's got more than one way to get a guy out. He's a four-pitch guy who's versatile, who throws strikes and who walked fewer guys than any closer (established) in baseball. |
He's got power and he can hit, and he's improved his defense. I can tell you this: He'll get plenty of at-bats. I don't have starters or nonstarters. I have 25 players, and every one of them has to be ready to make some kind of contribution to a winning cause, and he'll be one of the 25, I'm sure. |
He's got talent. Now it's crude, don't get me wrong, and I'm not trying to push the process along. He's just a kid. They (the Tigers' minor league staff) have something to work with. |
He's in a great mental frame of mind. I like him a lot. He's got a personality. He's one of my favorites. He's not afraid to talk to me, to kid around. Some of them still don't know exactly how to take me. |
He's more of the show mode than the tell mode. |
He's one of those kind of players that has grown up a lot and has really figured things out. You need to remember, experience is something you can't teach. We can't make six year players out of three year players. |
