aggressive ball focused knows needs solid talent totally waiting
Reyes knows what he needs to do. He's waiting on the ball better. He's an aggressive hitter, making solid contact. ... When he's totally focused on every at-bat, with his talent he'll be unbelievable offensively and defensively.
everybody finish flashes hit needs notice obviously particular shown thrown
I think everybody needs to finish up strong, ... He's obviously been a little inconsistent lately. Not put any particular notice on him. He needs to hit his spots. He's thrown well at times. He's shown flashes here and there.
gets needs sure
I think he understands that he needs to make sure everything is right before he gets out there.
early indoors needs pound routine work
Pedro does a lot of his work indoors anyway. We wanted him to not pound as much early on in camp, but he's going to work into his routine and do what he needs to do.
double needs work
He needs a lot of work on the double play,
dictate knows mound needs ready schedules wants whatever
We're going to let Pedro pretty much dictate when he's ready to get on the mound or do whatever he wants to do. We're going to let him take his time. He's a veteran. He knows what he needs to do. We don't need to put any schedules on him because that can always change.
ball excited forget hits home knows needs time
Any time Jose hits a home run, I try to forget it real quick. I let him know that he needs to forget about it real quick, so I don't get excited about home runs. He knows I don't like for him to hit the ball in the air. But he's got some pop.
ahead continues liked needs obviously pitch seen
Bannister still needs to make this club, so I'm not going to get ahead of myself with all that. I have liked what I've seen from (Bannister) all spring. If he continues to pitch well, obviously he has a chance.
asset confidence himself needs player
That little butcher-boy play is a play he needs to do more often. It's a big asset for him. He just needs to have confidence in himself to do it a lot. That's his game. That's the kind of player he's going to be. That's the player he should be, so I'd like to see him do it.
overall pitches
When you don't get calls, then you don't pitches where you want them to be. But overall he pitched pretty well.

We've got three or four guys on the depth chart who might step up and knock my socks off.
coming hitters react sending
With our 4-5-6 hitters coming up, I'm not sending him. I don't second-guess myself. I just react to what I see.
adding bite coffin crucial nail punishment stuff
We're not able to put the nail in the coffin so to speak, just adding on. All crucial runs, all stuff that comes back to bite you later. We must be gluttons for punishment I guess.
defensive saw spring thunder
We thought he was a defensive guy. Then in spring training, we saw he had some thunder in his hands. We'll take it.
