It's a tough time for Coco. He's balancing a lot of things and trying to make a lot of people happy. I don't think people realize the pressure on this guy. There's a lot more going on than just the Texas Rangers, and anybody who has been in the Dominican knows what I'm talking about.
america appeared baseball brings capable chance energy gives good himself hit home line runs scouts seconds surprise talking
He gives himself a chance to be as good as he's capable of being. He has a lot of energy and a lot of passion. I think someone said a lot of the scouts were talking about him being a surprise or something, just because you don't get him at 3.8 seconds down the line and he hasn't hit 45 home runs and appeared on all the Baseball America lists. ... He's a baseball player. He brings a lot of intangibles.

It is something that we've dealt with and I think he's dealt with it real well, all things considered, and it's time to move on and get the focus back on getting people out.

Padilla has been very fluid with his motion, free and easy. He's had a pretty good face since he's been here. He knows some people in the organization and he likes the place and the weather. He has had a smile on his face, which is not always the case with him.

Rod's going to be OK, ... It was more getting over the injection than it was the swelling. He's fine today.

I think he's ready to assume that mantle. I think he's capable of matching up with the other guys. That's a pretty lofty area, but he's one of those guys.
