I think there's going to be a lot of people interested. Even going back to Houston, going back in May, I don't think is going to be any big deal for him. It'll probably benefit him, the fact that he won't have to pitch the whole time.
He has a great deal of talent and makes a lot of money. I think there's a lot of jealousy out there.
I don't like it. When you make the deals I guess between networks and baseball, it's all about revenue.
He was messed up mechanically. He was flying open. Once he started, he started fighting himself. It's something he's going to have to deal with.
That's what goes with who you are, how much you make, all of that. It's part of the equation, unfortunately, so you just have to deal with it.
He deals with the stress and pressure very well,
It took me three times to get a 'hello' out of him the other day. But he certainly has a great deal of poise for a young pitcher.
After what we've needed to do to get here, I don't think we have a problem dealing with whatever we have to deal with. It really wasn't a letdown for us. We're just so into what we're doing now.
If you're used to playing every day, it's not something that's serious. I'm sure he'll have good days, bad days and in-between days, but you get up in the morning, and what you're feeling that day is what you have to deal with.
He felt his back a little bit, but that's an ongoing situation. He's got some physical things to deal with.
He had to have butterflies tonight. There's no question. But I thought he dealt with it really well.
Dale has always cared a great deal about other people. Dale's is a voice you can trust and his experience and wisdom comes through clearly as he provides valuable information so that young athletes can make good career decisions.
Every time the Yankees go to spring training, you have to be thinking World Series. I don't think that's a disrespect to any other team. It's just understanding the pressure that goes with playing here.
The Yankees want to get Brian done, ... I'd be disappointed if Brian left.
