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

Finley's been swinging the bat a lot better, ... It's good to see him chip in.

It was a swing. Our catcher caught it. Doug Eddings called him out and somewhere along the line, because the guy ran to first base, (Eddings) altered the call, ... When an umpire calls a guy out and you're the catcher, and I've caught my share of them, he's out. He didn't call swing, he rang him up with his fist and said 'You're out.'

We need a guy in that role who's not afraid to swing the bat. And this guy is not afraid.

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.

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.
