He called in and said he was feeling bad. The trainer (Larry Davis) thought it was best he stayed at home.

We wanted to break him in like any other player. To get him ready defensively is very important. There are a lot of different throws, angles and distances. The good news is he's swinging the bat and running.

Every part of his game looks better. His arm strength, his footwork, his timing -- it just seems like everything is clicking. And offensively, he looks like he's going to have a great year.
