beneficial camp dvds face himself looking opportunity particular roger watching
This particular camp is probably more beneficial than most because Roger has had the opportunity to acclimate himself to the deliveries of each of these pitchers, to put a face to an arm. He's been watching DVDs and looking at statistics. Now he can humanize these guys. So it's probably been more beneficial than any camp we've had in 16 years, from that standpoint.

This kid has a chance to be the next face of the franchise, ... He's been remarkable since the day he was drafted out of high school. He's up for his first major league at-bat, doesn't even have a sweaty jockstrap yet, and he's getting a standing ovation from our fans.
