He pitches for the name on the front of the jersey and not on the back. And you don't see that too often. |
He takes a lot of pride in calling a game. |
He was a real pro, |
He was tested quite a bit in the outfield, ... and he did pretty well. |
He's a fly-ball pitcher who should be effective in our ballpark, especially with our improved outfield defense. He can handle the bat, too. |
He's a tremendous athlete -- we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. Last year was his breakout year. He's had some success at the big-league level now -- and he's going to get better. |
He's a very versatile player and a switch-hitter. I think we missed having him when Greene got hurt. Plus, he's a quality guy in the clubhouse. |
He's been the talk of camp. |
He's had to learn in the big leagues, which is tough. He's faced probably as much adversity as any young player in the game is going to face. |
He's mentally strong, keeps the ball down, has the ability to change speeds, holds runners ... he's just a fundamentally sound pitcher, ... His fastball is 88, 89 [mph], and he's got a great changeup and curveball. The guy knows how to pitch. |

He's one of the few guys who didn't let Colorado's altitude affect him, |
Hey, want me to bring some brats over for the 'cue? It was right out of Home Improvement , with the guy next door. |
I bet I haven't seen him pitch live in about 10 years, |
I certainly feel, regardless of his numbers, that this guy is going to do enough damage with his bat that will make up for maybe his lack of throwing arm. I do feel that stolen bases are a very overrated stat. |
