It definitely helps. It will give us more time to work on things.

The two weeks will help with making changes and progressing. We have plenty of work ahead of us.

It's a controlled happiness. One of my concerns was the defense and it's been erratic.

Considering we had so many changes in the infield, to be doing this well is pleasing, but we still have things to work on. One through nine, you have to be careful with our team.

If we play good defense, by the end of the year, we'll be a pretty good team.

Considering we started four new faces, we played a pretty nice game. It was our first game and I thought some guys played better than they have in practice. It was a good start.
