arm dropped great individual keeps last position slot talked tough year
The thing I look at most is the individual pitchers. And I thought Bautista's arm slot was in a great position. It's something we've talked about earlier. Last year his arm slot dropped a little bit, but his arm is in great position right now, and if he keeps it that way, it's going to be tough to keep him out of the rotation.
deserves great happy learn loved situation terrific
I loved being around him. He's a terrific competitor. This is a great place for him, not just for the (winning) environment. You're going to learn a lot. I'm just really happy for him. He deserves to be in a situation like this. It's up to him what he does with it. My money's on him.

I've known Reggie for a while. My son, David, and he are great friends. It's no surprise. I've known he was a classy kid for a long time.

Their big guy was pretty good tonight. Great stuff, pretty good location to go along with it. Facing a guy like that, you?ve got to take advantage of any situations you?ve got. We didn?t get any tonight.
seen unusual
I've seen Elmer a lot and that's not unusual for him.
flow game guy
It was the other extreme, but a guy like Santana can do that to you. He can make things look real lethargic. The game just didn't have a flow to it.

I still don't think that he'll pitch for us. I know he wants to but ... he's talking about pitching winter ball and we're going to talk about that, too.
