He will hit a home run, ... That will be 704.
He went that long on a team that's not playing well without being re-signed. I'm sure it came through his mind. Whenever anybody gets fired, it's tough.
He takes, he doesn't strike out a lot, plus he knows how to play the game.
He's concerned about fielding his position and running the bases and all that kind of stuff, ... For D-Lee not to be playing, you know it's got to be something.
He hasn't been quite Michael since spring training. We wanted him to go get his arm strength back. We are going to need him before the year is over.
He has been knocking on 99 for a while and never had 100. He was knocking on it last year and got cold at the end.
He has a very consistent personality. Some guys, you can walk into the clubhouse and tell who's hot and who's not by whether they're grumpy or not.
He hadn't had anything up to this point.
He hadn't had anything to this point. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
