I can tell you what we're looking at right now on February 20-whatever, but that will change. There's a long way to go.

I want to use the heat to our advantage.

He can play right field and at the level it needs to be played.
horses
I'd like to see him get back down there and get on the horse.
asks everybody good guy seems special style substance
He's as good as I've had. He's a special competitor. His substance is his style, his style isn't his substance. He's a guy that everybody asks about. They want to know if he's as good as he seems to be. He's better.
belongs eye feels knowing people seen
He comes in knowing people like him and he has something to offer. I haven't seen this look in his eye before, he feels like he belongs here.
anxiety behind feet knows
He's got some anxiety I'm sure, first game. I think he'll get better. He knows he has to be better. Hopefully, he'll get this one behind him and get his feet on the ground.
coming outside park
He's coming from probably the most hitter-friendly park outside of Colorado, so this is an upgrade.
chest good morning walking
He's been walking around all morning with his chest puffed out. Good for him.
discomfort everyday full
He'll get to full throttle. He's close, it's just the everyday pounding. As long as he's not experiencing any discomfort or setbacks, we'll take it day-by-day.
coming good quality strikes throwing track
He was up with some pitches. He had been throwing quality strikes down. He was coming off some good outings. With young pitchers, the more you get out there, the better your track record.
catch emergency rest
He could catch in an emergency now, but we'll rest him,
sensitive
That's a sensitive area. We have to be sensitive to what's going on in the world of baseball.
