We really need to get our trainer to come out to our practices,

Ben (Wallace) slapped him on the wrist. (And) he got kicked in the leg. The trainer just needed to ice it. He's fine.

Those were spectacular catches. I want to see him out at 15 practices this spring, every one of them, all the way through. Then I'll tell you (where he stands). He showed what he can do. But he can't do that if he's sitting on the sidelines.

We had more interaction in practices before coming here and J.J. wanted other guys to take shots.

He's fine. [Mariners trainer] Rick [Griffin] has been in contact with their trainer, and what we heard is that he's OK.

Dane works hard and practices hard; it's important to him. He's what you want. He's a very complete player. He understands the game. It's his attitude and work ethic that make him the player he is.
