balls benefit guys hard hit
We hit some balls hard right at guys today. That's baseball, we also benefit from that, too.
banking guys top
Baseball's a gamble. We went for the top two guys out there. We're banking on them. And they're banking on us.
guys
Those guys have been doing that all year.
best gets guys hope ideally played sake
Ideally he gets through. But for his sake you hope he gets claimed. Guys who played for you in the past, you always want the best for those guys.
guys
You guys are pretty much right on it. But things could change.
couple good guys searching work
We'll work that out. We've got a good bullpen. We've got a couple guys searching right now, but we'll need them and they'll be fine.
guys sure vernon
We don't need one leader. We just need everyone to come together. Vernon and Zaun and I'm sure the new guys will do their part, too.
cash chances guys left
We left some guys on. We had some chances to get to Leiter, but we just didn't cash in there. It happens.
bit camp chemistry continuity country establish experience faces great guys honor ideally playing possible selfish soon time type wanting
Obviously, it's a great thing to honor your country and to get that type of experience on such a big stage, but we're a little bit selfish in wanting those guys back as soon as possible. With so many new faces in camp this year, ideally you'd like to have all of them around as much as possible to establish chemistry and continuity in your lineup. But it's a great experience for Vernon, who's getting the most playing time of anyone.
guys top
It's more about the guys on the top of the lineup.
certain fair games guys looks money paying
It looks better, but I told these young guys certain games that I'm going to get them into, so I'm going to do that, ... I think it's important. ... I think it's fair to them. We're paying them a lot of money -- we may as well get them in there, right?
character guys quality says shine strong sun tendency
It says something about the guy, how strong he is. Strong character guys and quality guys, the sun has the tendency to shine on guys like that in the long run.
ahead along comparison few game good guys otherwise storm year
Very few guys come along like that, once every 20, 30 years, guys who take the game by storm right out of the gates. Hernandez is just way ahead of most 19 year olds, that's the difference. Otherwise these guys don't get here that fast. Same thing with Gooden. I don't know about that comparison yet, but he'd be pretty good if he is.
almost expect guys hoping knew list needed targeted wish
We knew what we needed to do to improve. We targeted some guys and we were hoping to get one or two of them. You never expect to get your whole wish list and we almost did that.
