He was obviously very intelligent, very mature beyond his biological age. He got along with people real well. He had a nice way about him.

He's very mature for his age, a quick thinker and quick to act.

I'd like to think that I'm getting slightly more mature as time goes on, but I don't know if my fiancee would necessarily agree.

There's a difference between depth and quality depth, and Josh would be quality depth. We want to have a guy like that, but if not, you move on.

We have a long-term vision and we'll still need a lot of pitching, but you still have to earn something, too.

I think he goes out of his way to make a difference in other peoples' lives. He takes players underneath his wing, I think he's a very positive human being, he focuses on the right things. He really cares about the team. I think his maturity from the first time he's been here until now is phenomenal. Life teaches us different lessons and I think he's taken them the right way.
