For me, he really stands out as a guy I've really enjoyed playing with. He enjoys playing the game. He's a tough out, and he does things in the field like he did today.

We look up and see that 7.00 ERA, ... We haven't seen that guy yet. He was tough. He was in control of the game, but we couldn't mount anything.

Sometimes it takes guys a little longer. It's different for everybody, but he's definitely a guy we are fortunate to have on our team.

He's in a mode where he enjoys being a leader. I think out there he enjoyed it, but here he just seems like he's more laid back and he helps coach a little bit more than just showing by example, which he does already, but then he also talks about what he does.

Melvin called me. He has been playing in Iceland. He enjoyed the game last year and wanted to be a part of it again. Having a guard of his caliber will help us.

If you look at my stats, its probably my best spring. The guy who's playing good is the guy who's going to play the most.
