I think Marlon is a special talent. There's nothing that could stop him from becoming an outstanding big league ballplayer, not an average big league ballplayer.

Hit the fastball. It's not rocket science. If he keeps hitting fastballs and lays off the other stuff, he'll do well. It really is that simple.

It's very difficult for any man to be successful with one swing per at-bat in the major leagues.

I'm just living with it. That's all you can do. They're going to do what they want to do, and there's nothing nobody can do about it. But I would think there would be some consideration for the guys considering the job some of them have done for the last four years.

He was hitting in sections. He had to get a rhythm, a flow, to his movement.
