He's a top-notch guy, an awesome guy. |
He's a very mature young man who has a chance to be a real offensive force. He's a pure hitter. He grew up in this game, and he's ready for his chance at stardom. |
He's always been good against us. Every time he pitches against us, he pitches tough. |
He's as tough as they come, ... and when you fall behind a guy like that it's tough to come back. |
He's as tough as they come. He doesn't make mistakes. |
He's beating himself. That's what is frustrating. He's not making the other team beat him. He's beating himself. His stuff is too good for that. |
He's been an important piece to our starting rotation, along with Ben Sheets and Doug Davis. They've really solidified the first three starting spots. |
He's been steady ever since we started. He was good the first day we went out, and he's been good ever since. Great addition. |
He's doing everything right now. I don't think there's a guy I'd more want to see up there in that situation than Carlos. |
He's doing much better today than yesterday. We were going to be nervous if he wasn't. (Friday), every time he moved, it would spasm up. It's not doing that. That's a good sign. |
He's done a good job keeping the ball in the zone. He has had short, quick innings. He throws that knuckleball, and then he throws an 83-mph fastball and jams good hitters. He's got some weapons. |
He's done everything we've asked him to. He's worked very hard on his defense and played very well defensively. |
He's fine. Right now, it's almost as if nothing happened. |
He's going to be a 3, 4, 5 hitter throughout his career. He's not going to sit in the seventh spot. And I don't know if you've noticed lately but we haven't been winning too many games, so something's broke. |
He's got a slight strain of the right lat, not his shoulder, not his elbow. We'll evaluate him tomorrow, but we don't even know if he's going to miss a start. We think he's going to be just fine and dandy. |
