calm kid king mound people time
He was the king of the mound today. He was a very calm kid out there. Right now he's overpowering people with his fastball. There's going to be a time when he's going to have to go to the other pitches. And he will.

He knows we need him real bad. Even if he's not up to par.
hit knew run throw tremendous
He was one of those five-tool guys. He could throw and run and hit with power, everything. He was green, 20 years old, a big kid. He made some mistakes. But we knew he was going to be a tremendous player, an MVP-type of guy.
