He's a defensive player, don't get me wrong. Actually, he's been swinging the bat halfway decent down here. But I've just been impressed with the way he's handled himself.

You can tell he's a team player. I mean, he was helping out at every possible place without any fanfare.

Finley's been swinging the bat a lot better, ... It's good to see him chip in.

I might not have done it had he been really swinging the bat well, but sometimes you need a mental break when you're having a tough stretch. Most of his days off will come on day games, but he will play on long stretches when he will be rolling good and won't get as many days off.

He's a solid defensive player at third base. He's a good offensive hitter with a little pop to his bat.

Everybody was a little worried at first with the whole guys not swinging the bat, but you know what, there's a different light switch on opening day and this group showed up to play. It's a lineup that doesn't run well, but we can hit the baseball.
