He picked up right where he left off last year.

If I understand correctly, it'll be a couple weeks before they even want him to pick up a ball. That's going to set him back there. We'll make sure he's ready to go.
clicks good guys kinds player
If it all clicks for this kid, you've got a very good player because he can do everything. He's a five-tool player and those guys are very rare. So when that does happen, those are the kinds of guys that you want out there all the time.
