I know what I'm going to do, but I ain't saying. Tonight didn't have anything to do with it. I just don't want to reveal it yet. |
I like Ed Wade, |
I like his makeup. I think his stuff is going to be big for one or two innings in the bullpen. To me, Franklin's the guy with the rubber arm. He's the guy who can bounce back. He was very concerned with his role. He didn't want to be mopping up games. |
I like long balls. That's the quickest way to get on the good side of a manager. |
I like the way he's throwing. He's staying aggressive. |
I like the way we played. I thought our pitching was very, very good, considering it was the first game. |
I like to have him around. He brings something to a team. He could communicate with them and help them relax. |
I like to play guys that have been here all season. That doesn't mean I won't play the new guys, but these guys have been here all year. |
I look at our bench, and I'd love to get [Coste] some playing time. I think he can hit off the bench because, even in the minor leagues, he did that. |
I might leave him where he's at because he hit those two jacks. I was mad because I didn't get to see (the first homer). I saw it on TV. |

I never promise guys anything. But I'll give you every chance in the world to show me what you can do. In my mind, I definitely am going to look at him a long time. |
I played right field, and those were tough plays. You're trying to find an angle to the ball. From where I was sitting, just as soon as he turned around, those balls were on the fence. |
I put my uniform on three different times today. |
I read the report on him and from last year and winter ball, I think he lost some of his velocity this year in spring training. He needs better command and he needs to avoid what I like to call the big part of the plate. |
