This team had between four and seven runs and between eight and 12 hits every game in spring training. I'm sure they will come around.

I like to be aggressive on the bases. But if you don't have speed you have to adapt. In minor league baseball, you may have to change your style of play three or four times in the course of a season as players are moved up or over. You would like to keep your core players, but it doesn't work like that.

A couple of our guys weren't too anxious for the game to become official. You put an 0-for-13 in there and your average goes down quick.

I think the guys are just getting in the flow of the season. If it were the middle of June and we were playing this way I'd be upset.
