He now knows, not that he wouldn't have if he had played, he knows firsthand that he's still the force he was before he missed all this time.

conscious cranky days games next position reasonable rest spring step training wants
It's reasonable to think he can play 120 games. Now, will we be in a position to have to rest him and be conscious that he's going to come in some days cranky and not be able to go? The next step is to get him in spring training and get him in a position to be able to do that. I think he wants that.

affected age age-and-aging below blow comments deeply emotional fathom feelings manager react stand swallowing trying
