He can drive to the basket; he can shoot the three, and we had games this season where he would knock down six or seven 3-pointers. Those are all things that make him such a good ballplayer. If you try to take something away from him, he'll do something else. |
He caught the eye last year with his second time back (in the Majors). It looked like he felt better about the big-league game. That was the first impression. Then he comes to Spring Training, and you know he's a hard player. ... He played well in all facets. |
He commended us on how great a win it was. That would have been a devastating loss. He didn't really yell at halftime. He just got our attention. It's like if somebody nudges you, you might not notice. But if you push a little harder, you get their attention. |
He couldn't see when he was here. And being there, they did a great job there. Everybody did a great job. Our trainer got right to him. … An ophthalmologist rushed across town and examined him. Now they said his vision's good and they're going to release him. |
He did a good job of controlling his rebounds. That was good for him and good for the team. I think that last 10 or 12 minutes, Rockford really threw everything they had at us. It was a role-reversal from earlier in the game. … We've got to learn from that. |
He give us the flexibility to do some things with our lineup, by him being able to play both defense and forward. He's got an unselfish personality. He's got some speed and one year he scored 14 goals, too. So there's some ability to shoot the puck and score. |
He got an opportunity before and I don't believe that he took it. So he's going to have to wait. I like guys working, and I like the lineup right now. We've got guys working really hard, and this is what's important for me. Give what you got and you'll be OK. |
He had a good look when he came off, and I saw Ricky (Davis) was trailing him. I knew he was going to get a good look, and earlier we were doing our shooting games and Rip said, 'I never miss from the corner.' So when he got it down there, I felt pretty good. |
He has all the physical tools to be a really good catcher at this level -- a big body and a strong arm. He needs to be more disciplined. Sometimes, he's a little bit too aggressive. But he definitely has a chance to hit for power from both sides of the plate. |
He has chosen at this critical time, in the middle of a presidential campaign, to inject himself into the political debate. And he has every right to do so. But in so doing, his judgments -- his actions, or the lack thereof -- should also come under scrutiny. |
He has come a long way. He's gotten through some things and learned a lot. I talked to him and asked him how he could keep in shape and sharp being out (of football) that long. He said he never took a break from anything, and that's the sign of a true player. |
He has got to pick up the game plan and really know it by heart. The big thing for him has been watching the film. I've got a lot of confidence in Brandon (Cox). He's ran the offense really well this camp, so we will just wait and see what happens on gameday. |
He has had a lot of problems over the years. We are all rooting for him and hope he pulls through. Everyone has their own opinion about football and their favorite players but in terms of British players, you would find it difficult to think of anyone better. |
He has had big years. He won 20 games one year. He?s been kind of a steady guy, one who will give you 200 innings a year. He wins games. He is what you would call a command pitcher; he doesn?t walk a lot of guys. He pitches quick, gets the ball and throws it. |
He has no political capital. Slowly but surely it's been unraveling. There's been a direct correlation between the trajectory of his approval numbers and the -- I don't want to call it disloyalty -- the independence on the part of the Republicans in Congress. |
