start subjective talking uniform
When you start talking about prospects, it's a very subjective term. The way I look at it is as long as you've got a uniform on, you've got a chance.
highly system telling
No telling where our system may be when he comes back. Obviously, we think highly of him, so, hopefully, there will be a spot.
bad gets handle rocking rolling stand
You have to let them go if you know they're going to be able to handle the bad day; handle the life, handle the pressure, the intensity. If he gets things rocking and rolling the right way, I'm not going to stand in his way.
stuff
What are you going to do? Stuff happens.
great players shot
We feel like it was a great draft. We got a lot of young players who have a shot at having outstanding careers.
add bring guy kid lose proven sort
You never want to lose a kid who's a left-hander and has a big arm. But that's the sort of thing you have to do to add a proven guy you want to bring in.
extended game goes matt paid rules
One of the rules (with the suspension) is that you can't play in any game with paid admission, so extended is OK. When we get to the end of May, we have to look at where Matt goes from there. Most likely, he'll go home.
fort games mound move pitching played reasons wayne ways whatever
One of the reasons I wanted to move him was that he wasn't pitching enough. We played 10 games in Fort Wayne or whatever it was, and he's been on the mound (four) times. We have to find ways to get him out there.
says somebody winning
Show me that somebody that says winning is not a part of development, I'll show you a loser.
athletic body great raw strength swings work
He's very athletic and strong. He's raw and green, with a lot of swings and misses, but he has a great body and strength to work with.
advantage anxiety composure enjoying passed taking time
He's ready. He's got composure about him. I think he's had enough big-league time where the anxiety has passed him, so he's just enjoying it, taking advantage of the time that he's got.
against attracted blend draft hard indicator mirror plan players positive success trying type
We're trying to blend these two things so they're working in unison, so they're not working against each other. It's hard to draft the type of players you want if you're not positive in the development plan, and it's not an indicator to have success to have a development plan that doesn't mirror the type of players that you get attracted to you.
certainly great kid physical saw sweet swing top
He was certainly in our top 10 in the country. He wasn't very physical at that stage, but you saw the defense, and the kid always had a sweet swing and great hand-eye coordination.
looking
We really like Cesar. He has everything you're looking for.
