accustomed ahead aware base fully schedule shape spring start sure touched training
I've touched base with him just to make sure he is ahead of schedule at this point. He's fully aware of how important it is for him to be in a little better shape to start out spring training than what he's probably accustomed to.
ball base hurt looking runs threw
Any runs you give up hurt you, but we got the ball we're looking for at first base and couldn't get them out at home. Pedro threw great. Give him credit.

base depth free great prospect third
We don't have a lot of depth at third base in the system. That's like having a prospect there, but we got him as a sixth-year free agent. That's a great find.

The biggest thing is to have a swagger when you take the field. When you're not going well, you have to change something -- the biggest thing is the way you carry yourself. You have to walk like you belong with the best, go up to the plate like you know you belong with the best. That's swagger.
