breaking command focus hitting lose move pitches start
The first start of the year, there's a lot of focus on him. He wasn't hitting with his breaking ball. His command was off. That was all. He was in and out. He'd move the pitches and then he'd lose it. But he was OK.
against approach certain chance couple guys looking might numbers teams
The first day we got down here, I said, 'The numbers are against you, but you still need to approach it like you're going out there to try and make this team.' I just want him to have fun. I don't know what teams are looking (for a catcher). Certain teams, if we try to get him through (waivers), there's teams that may want to go with the young guys and might take a chance on him. It's unfortunate he had those couple years where he was injured.
