Let's see what has kept this guy where he's been, ... Is he a usable part for next year?

Wait til next year.

He could go out and pitch the same way this year and have a tremendous year because things go his way. This may be his year to get run support.

A lot of guys said he was off the wall, he's crazy. I found him to be a guy with a lot of energy. He played the game hard. He just wanted to go out and play. Sometimes his emotion got in the way. He would lose control and tear things. I talked to him and reasoned with him. I listened to him. We developed a fondness for each other. I admire him for the way he goes about his work.

It seems like every team has a guy that is fortunate that the team scores for (him), and there's that hard-luck guy they don't score for.

You watch this guy carve up defenses, and you know he's going to be a special player at the next level. He's just so explosive.
