cards compare complain eight guys last leagues lost released rule since stuff work
I'll never complain about the cards we're given. We have to work with all of them. I really don't look at other organizations and compare us, because we have enough work to do with the guys we have here. You read all the stuff about where we're ranked, but we had eight guys on the 25-man roster last year. And since I've been here, we've never had a guy come back here in the big leagues with someone else that we released or lost in the Rule 5.

belief born chance competitor expects eye great heart hitter league major quiet rattled win
He's a competitor and has great belief in himself. You can tell that on the mound. He's got that look in his eye that he's going to get the hitter out. He has something that you're born with, something you can't teach. He has the heart to be a top-notch Major League pitcher. He expects to win and has a quiet confidence. He doesn't get rattled and has a chance to be a top-of-the-rotation guy.
believer fine finger fort gets good guy job last league major pitcher ready spring standstill year
He's kind of at a standstill because he has blister problems. We have to see more from him. Last year he got off to a good start, but right now he's a one-pitch pitcher because of the finger problem. So far, he's been fine this Spring Training. I'm not ready to say he's going to be a front-line guy yet. He hasn't made me a believer yet. He has a Major League fastball, though, and it gets on you in a hurry. He's another long-range guy and will be vying for a job at Fort Wayne.
