I pretty much have an idea what he can do. I think it's important the guys who have been here all year busting their [butts] deserve to finish the year.

Sometimes you come in with a guy who is unorthodox in a delivery and he'll get you an out. Bring somebody in with a different look and come in with a pitch you don't see everyday.

I think he'll probably throw off the mound soon. Obviously, he's going to have to get off the mound sometime. I just can't tell you exactly when.

There's no comparison to me. There's nothing like Yankees-Red Sox to me.

That reminded me of the Kenny Lofton of yesteryear. Those were huge plays. We could have gotten some momentum going.

He's got quick hands. He attacks the ball aggressively. And you have to like his speed. He's just a very effortless type of runner. When he hit that triple, it looked like he was coasting. Just real smooth. It's that young talent, that raw kind of young skill you like to see.
