I think he's going to be a good pitcher. He seems to be a pretty focused and dedicated player.

The mental mistakes I can't live with. You can't win when you do that. I don't think this team has a leader.

The thing I like is his approach. He looks like he's used to doing it. You just know with the stuff he has, he's capable of (a great game) anytime.

He looked like he was just looking into the dugout and get his five innings and get out.

I just think the guys are pressing, and there's no reason to press. We're doing some stupid things at the plate right now.

The type of player I was is the type of manager I'll be. Run and force the issue. I would like to play very aggressive on the bases.

That's got to be his niche. He has struggled but he's still coming out and working hard.

With good weather usually comes more hits.
