care good himself love taking
Obviously, he's taking care of himself a lot better than he used to. I just love the way he competes, and I love the way he cares. He's a good teammate. That's what I like.
Nothing is going the way we wanted it to go.
mike
Mike is struggling. We can't get him in there.
preparing quite ready time worst
We're going about it, quite frankly, that Zack is not going to be here in time to get ready for the rotation. We pretty much are preparing for the worst right now. That could change. I don't think it will.
nobody pity
Nobody is going to give us any pity and we're not going to pity ourselves. We just need to play better.
confidence few kid learned next quite smart spring sure
So I'm sure it's been a confidence thing off and on but he's a smart kid and next spring he's going to look back on this thing and (realize) he's learned quite a few things.
course sergeant
Of course I'd come down. He was my sergeant major.
changes good high letting week
My expectations aren't real high for the first week to 10 days. We're just letting them get used to changes we've made. We did some good things.
separation
There's not a whole lot of separation between them, to be honest.

There's not a whole lot of guys that have the bullets to get these guys.
ball pitch pitching talking wants winter
I still don't think that he'll pitch for us. I know he wants to but ... he's talking about pitching winter ball and we're going to talk about that, too.
months needed seen three
I've been here three months and I've seen just about everything I needed to see.
flow game guy
It was the other extreme, but a guy like Santana can do that to you. He can make things look real lethargic. The game just didn't have a flow to it.
arm dropped great individual keeps last position slot talked tough year
The thing I look at most is the individual pitchers. And I thought Bautista's arm slot was in a great position. It's something we've talked about earlier. Last year his arm slot dropped a little bit, but his arm is in great position right now, and if he keeps it that way, it's going to be tough to keep him out of the rotation.
