anderson baseman bring chance help might ourselves owe saying second sure talented veteran
I'm not saying that if we get a chance to bring in a veteran second baseman who can really help us, we should say, 'No way, we have Anderson Hernandez,' ... He might need another year. But he's young and talented and sure of himself. We owe it to ourselves to take a look.
assignment baseman bat call rehab second swinging
He's the only second baseman we have and we have to get him going. He's been swinging the bat pretty well (during a rehab assignment for Norfolk), and we'll get him right in there. ... We wouldn't call him up if he wasn't ready.

barometer base best bit couple emphasis games good guys knocks relax spring training turn whatever
It was good to see him relax a little bit and get going. Obviously, spring training is not the best barometer for how you base these guys but, you know, he was 0-for-20 or whatever and he had a couple knocks so that's why you don't put a lot of emphasis on games like this because you can turn it around in one day.

I've coached third base for 10 years and I don't second-guess my third-base coach, ... It was a tough decision. I didn't tell him to tell him to go. You have to ask the guy that sent him.
base bunt feels felt game hit maybe might prefer rather swing
I told him that I'd prefer him not to do that, ... He felt he could maybe get a bunt base hit and, like I said earlier, if he makes it, then we're O.K. But even if he makes it, it still might not be the right play. But he feels that's part of his game in his mind. But personally, no, I'd rather him swing the bat.
