He wants to be here and wants to be a part of it. He wants so badly to be a big part of our future, as well as our present. If he can do what he did in the second half over the course of a whole year, he'll be more than enough. |
He was at a pivotal point where he could have went one [of] two ways. He could have given into it. But he didn't. He bowed his neck and made some significant adjustments, both in his delivery and his pitches. |
He was basically everything we had hoped and expected to see. |
He was everything we had hoped to see. The things you don't know when you make a trade ? the mental approach, whether he will be a good teammate, were the most encouraging things, in addition to his physical tools. |
He was unhappy with his role on 'College GameDay,' ... He felt that he was playing second fiddle. |
He'll be a good major league player. It's just that the time frame didn't align with how this team has matured. |
He'll be in the middle and hopefully we'll let him work his way toward the back. |
He's a cornerstone guy. He's come a long way, defensively. From a leadership standpoint, he's a guy that's come light years and keeps coming every day. We're ecstatic about who he is and how he plays. |
He's a good fit for us as a person and a player. His style is different from everyone else in our rotation. |
He's a high-character guy, and when he's healthy, he wins. I just thought he'd be a great fit here. |
He's a little more experienced than Jose Hernandez was, having played in the American League. I just feel good about him in that role. |
He's an energy player, and he can impact the game on both sides of the ball. |
He's definitely an option. This is the best he's pitched in his career with us. |
He's definitely played the game the way we want it played. He has the power, size and athleticism combo to be a corner outfielder at the Major League level. His approach fits with our approach, and he's a local kid. It's a pretty good match. But he's still got to go to the next level, which he really hasn't been to yet. |
He's done the job before, he's versatile and he can play all three positions. His make-up fits the character of our team. |
