He's an interesting addition to the roster. Age is on his side. Position is on his side. Just in the drills, he's been impressive. He's got a nice short arm with good strength. He's put the ball in play when he's had at-bats. |
He's been a welcome addition. He's filling in very well. Even though he's a junior, he's already one of the key leaders on the team with his play and also with his enthusiasm. His tenacity, that's what really helps this team. |
He's been in the Coast Guard his entire life, and one of the things he does and does well is what the Coast Guard motto is, be always prepared. He takes every new event and gets down and starts working and sees it to its end. |
He's been the best defensemen in the league for 10 years. He just always makes the right play. When he's out there, guys like me have to be more aware of him when he has the puck, so that creates more room for the other guys. |
He's cut from the same cloth as some of our other great talents, like Ray Allen. He just has not reached that level yet. The bottom line is Rudy Gay is being victimized by his potential and our need for instant gratification. |
He's done a nice job. He's a nice acquisition for us. We needed another starter. With his stuff, with his experience, it's worked out well. I think a change of scenery has done him well. It's good to have him in our rotation. |
He's excited and we are, too. We're all anxious to really get going. I think Eli has put himself in a position where he feels really good about where he's at. The questions we asked [in meetings] were all about the Cardinals. |
He's extremely quick and they do a good job of opening up the floor for him. He runs really hard in transition, he has the ability to get to the rim and he's got some maturity about him as a junior. He doesn't take plays off. |
He's going to be a huge part of the Red Sox, maybe starting tonight. I think it's important ... I think it's great for his development to be here now. Anything he learns now and any time he pitches can't hurt his development. |
He's got a high level of energy at all times. If you're not prepared to battle that energy level and that emotion, then they can get rolling on you and the next thing you know you're down double figures and you can't recover. |
He's got bigger and better things to plan for, like college and his career. I don't want to say he quit, he's just focusing on better things for himself. Wrestling wasn't his thing for high school; he just came out this year. |
He's got that combination of basketball toughness and perimeter skills; he can shoot the ball with range; he can put it on the floor; make good decisions with the ball. As well as go inside and mix it up and rebound the ball. |
He's got that typical Jersey mentality. People may think he's a little obnoxious, but that's how he is. He's going to tell you what he thinks and that's a good thing. He'll tell me what he thinks and I'll tell him right back. |
He's had a lot handed to him, for obvious reasons. There's no sense yet of how deep he goes. ... It's hard to discern any ambition in him. But so what? Everyone here goes on the assumption everyone wants to be prime minister. |
