This guy has got a lot of mileage out of the ability he possesses. He becomes a better player when you're able to work within the framework of his ability. |
This is a guy that as we go along you're going to find him pitching a lot of very meaningful games, games of major significance. That's who he is. That's who he's going to become. That's going to be a very easy thing for him to do because he's a person who's not the least bit shy about wanting that type of responsibility. |
This is a pretty significant addition. This is a very consistent, solid ballplayer, and I'm very happy to be getting him. |
This is about the time he should get started. You're not looking for this guy to be out there for two- and three-inning stints. It's completely unnecessary to do that with him. |
This is about the time to get him going. |
This is not a platoon situation with Jeromy Burnitz. Jeromy Burnitz is our right fielder. |
This is not a punishment. [Castillo] just needs to understand and realize that in order to become the player that he is capable of becoming, you can't allow environment to change your approach as a player that makes you very, very good. |
This isn't going to be a good place to be anymore if you think that mediocrity is okay. It won't work. |
This kid has done everything you can ask him to do and then some. I know he was already on the map as far as the organization is concerned. He's fully convinced me why they're so high on him. |
This kid just has an eye at the plate, a talent for the game. |
This one is easy to let go of with the type of season it's been, |
This says so much about the City of Pittsburgh and their support of their sports teams. You have a group of people who absolutely love this team. |
This was a pretty good example of it. |
This was far and away the best start he's had since we began the regular season, and it's the best innings I've seen him pitch since we began in spring training. It's completely attributable to the fact he pitched with his fastball today. When he does that and commands it the way he did, it makes him effective. |
This whole weekend shows how great a sports town Pittsburgh is. The people here really care about these teams. |
