He was signed as a natural third baseman, ... He's a switch-hitter, I've seen him take some good at-bats.

We're going to speed Duff up and get him some at-bats. We've just got to catch up a little bit.

He's a tremendous offensive player, as complete a hitter as there is in the major leagues. And I'll tell you something else: I see a player that is not satisfied with that.

Matt has been a good big-league player. We'll make the switch to get him some at-bats ... give Jeremy time to regroup. If Matt swings and plays the way Matt can, it will make things interesting.

My jaw didn't drop. I've seen it before. It was hit hard.

He may not have seen live pitching, but he's the type of guy who wouldn't take long to resurrect his hand-eye coordination. I don't think he hit 700-and-something home runs by accident. I think you would have to be aware of him.
