He was extremely fair with the players. If there was something negative he had to deal with, he dealt with it. He didn't let it fester, he didn't let it build. |
He's definitely one of the top five we've ever had here. Bryce is a really good player. He's definitely good enough to play at the next level. |
He's just one of those guys (whom) you could tell early on was going to be something. Athletically, he was gifted from the start and you just had a feeling that once he got an understanding of the game at this level and the schemes that they were using that he would be a force to reckon with. |

I don't think we see it as being redundant. I think they are different players and different people, but I think they are both assets. |
I like what I'm doing, |
I really can't comment on it, |
I really can't say at this point, |
I think a decision will come sooner rather than later, |
I think he's still figuring out what he's going to do. He kind of inherited somebody else's team. |
I think it's a little unfair how much attention it's gotten. You're not doing your due diligence if you're not accumulating as much data as you can. |
I think one of the reasons people have been looking forward to this game so much is because we're almost mirror images of each other. We play similar styles, we both hustle and we both play a fast-paced game. |
I think the greatest commodity in baseball is the young pitcher. He already has some major league experience; he certainly gives us depth. He was a very popular name at the winter meetings - and continues to be. |
I think the last couple of months he did exceptionally well. I was very impressed with the way he handled the ball club under difficult circumstances. |
I think there is going to be a strong sentiment to run from this. |
