levels reason three year
I think we all were (impressed). There's some reason why he has jumped three levels in a year and a half. You could see why today.
exactly reason saving situations throw
The reason we don't use him is because we're not going to just throw him out there. This is exactly the reason he is here. We're saving him for situations like that.
exactly fill reason saving situations throw
This is exactly why he's here. He can fill that role. And the reason we don't use him (more) is we're just not going to throw him out there. We're saving him for situations like that.
interested reason
That's why I was so interested in this job. That's the reason right there.
ball bat catch field guys pitchers reason swing throw win
There's a reason why guys win 300 games. They can field their position, they can swing the bat and they can throw strikes. That's a big part of his game. There's not a lot of pitchers that catch that ball. That ball was smashed. That was a big play.
brady consistency trying whatever work
I think Brady will work out whatever is going on with him. I'm just trying to get some consistency in our offense.
adequate billy quite
I think Billy can play, quite honestly, every day at second, probably every day at short, every day at third, or every day in the outfield. He could be adequate at all those spots.

I think there will be a lot of excitement in spring training next year.
addition afraid great jeff second solid
Jeff Cirillo is a solid player. He's been a great addition to the team. He does everything well. I'm not afraid to put him at second base.
benny bit davis good starter
I think Doug Davis would be a No. 1 starter on a lot of teams. He's every bit a No. 1 starter as Benny is. We feel good about him.
six throw worry
I said, don't worry about it. He's only going to throw about 50 pitches. That's about six innings, and then he'll be done.
defeating fighting fights-and-fighting hard
Our guys, what they're doing is they're fighting real hard to try to get out of it. It's defeating the purpose.
