baseball cares good guy notch phases top
I've been around some good baseball people, but he's so good in all phases of the game. You're not going to find a better worker, you're not going to find a guy who cares as much. Sometimes he probably cares too much, but he's just top notch all the way around.
anytime guy job shot top
Ryan's up-and-coming, pretty new to the job himself, but already he's one of the top closers in the game. Anytime you've got a shot at a guy like that, you've got to make that move.

It's more about the guys on the top of the lineup.

Our guys have been very confident swinging the bat. From top to bottom we've been pretty effective, and that's what you have to have. All the good teams do.

They know we can score some runs so we're not out of games. They're confident that we have some offence. We're solid top to bottom.

We've been swinging. We like the way our offence is built.

We've been swinging the bats pretty well. I really like how our offense is built.
