He's in a lot of pain. He said he's feeling kind of nauseous. He's going to go out there and give you what he's got, hurt or not hurt. He's going to play with pain and that's just a testament to what kind of guy he is. |

He's looked good in practice, a little apprehensive at times. It will be nice to get Brandon back because we still have a long way to go. We're making too many mistakes and we're fortunate to be where we are right now. |
He's low on the velocity side. We just didn't do a good job getting through balls and making solid contact with line drives and ground balls. Guys like that who throw slow ... your swing gets long and you get under it. |
He's matured a lot from spring training to now. That's great to see. He's been awesome, working his tail off every single day. It's been paying off. He's a guy you want to see coming up when you have a chance to score. |

He's not forcing balls. Second-and-10 or something like that, he'll throw it away. It's the plays that people don't really look at. I think last year there were a lot of times he would try to force it in to make plays. |
He's one of the best assistants and one of the best evaluators of talent that I've ever been around, ... I think in the next week or two we are going to try to name him associate head coach because he's been that good. |
He's pretty demanding. He demands you to be in the right position. He seems really intelligent. If we do things the way we're supposed to, we'll have some success. Hopefully it'll be a wakeup call, but that's up to us. |
He's scheduled to have a quick doctor visit to get up-to-date with his inner ear issue. He's been doing his long toss, probably will start to graduate onto the mound and just go day-by-day on the basis of how he feels. |
He's such a good leader. He has humility. He goes out and works so hard, and he understands you have to work for everything you get in life. He's got the right mind-set, and that's why I think he'll make it in the NFL. |
He's without a doubt the No. 1 male in my life, ... I was a longtime minor leaguer going nowhere. I could do a lot of things like run, throw and field, but I was afraid of the curveball. ... He made me a switch-hitter. |
He's working really hard and that's all you want out of him. We're installing new things every single day for a guy who should be getting ready for his senior prom. It's all going to happen really, really fast for him. |

Here's a guy that does not have a history of violence -- was alleged to have carried out logistical tasks. He was not involved in the bombings himself, and there was nothing in evidence that he knew about the bombings. |
