That was my whole point, for them to swing the bat. I only had a certain amount of pitches and he was standing in there.

But I've got to make some better pitches.

I just get in there and swung the bat. You're not taking pitches. Just swing it and see what happens.

I can definitely swing the bat better -- no excuses. I'm frustrated now -- swinging at bad pitches, taking some bad swings. That's the game. It's a long season.

We wouldn't rule him out as a DH because he can swing the bat.

Jeff's very realistic. If he comes in here and two weeks into it he can't swing the bat or he's back to where he was last year, swinging the bat and it turns to pain, I think he would say, 'I'm not able to play.' Barring that, I think he has every intention of playing this entire year.
