kid men plays reason risk second solid thinking third
I was thinking we'd have men on second and third and one out. There was a lot of risk ... But this kid is a real solid second baseman. That is one reason he plays every day.
ball bottom consistent field good hit hitters kid middle pull swinging trying wish
I think he's swinging at better pitches. He's not trying to pull everything. He's trying to hit the ball into the middle of the field and right field. We wish this kid would be more consistent with that. When this kid is on, he's on for good and we need those hitters at the bottom of the lineup.

amazing arm best came confidence doubt job keeping kid last matter mechanics pitches throwing time year
It's an amazing job this kid did over the last year and a half, ... This kid came in with a lot of problems, mechanics and keeping his pitches down. I always say Contreras got the best arm on my staff. There's not a doubt about it. It was a matter of time when he got more confidence and he was throwing more strikes.
arm chance coming gives good happened innings jon kid league misses opportunity pulled seven sudden took trust
Before I got the job, Jon never had the opportunity to go more than six, seven innings. They always pulled him out, and all of a sudden I give him the chance and he took advantage. I think this kid's arm is there. This kid gives 200 innings every year, he never misses a start. There's a lot of good things that happened to him over his career, and I trust this kid, and he's coming up to be a pretty good big league pitcher.

ace april bobby kid last playoffs starter win
This kid went from my last starter to No.1 in the playoffs for us. If you told me in April that Contreras was going to be my ace and Bobby Jenks was going to be my closer, I would tell you I don't think we're going to win this.
