miss
We're going to miss (Mark) Mulder, ... That's good, I guess, huh?
dictate knows mound needs ready schedules wants whatever
We're going to let Pedro pretty much dictate when he's ready to get on the mound or do whatever he wants to do. We're going to let him take his time. He's a veteran. He knows what he needs to do. We don't need to put any schedules on him because that can always change.
bullpen looks
We're going to keep him in the bullpen. I like the way the bullpen looks right now.
camp coming feels good knowing learn personnel year
We've still got a lot to learn about each other, a lot to learn about winning. It just feels good to get that first year out of the way. It feels good knowing coming into this camp that you know your personnel better and feel more comfortable with what you expect.
both impact last mets signed
When the Mets first signed him, they signed him to do these things. I wasn't here last year, but obviously, they signed him to be an impact player, both offensively and defensively.
front guys might
There are other guys who might be in front of him, anyway.
disabled florida hard looks worked
Kaz must have worked hard in Florida (when he was on the disabled list) because he looks better to me in the field.
likeable straw strong
He has that magnetism. He's a big man, a strong man, a likeable man. He's the Straw Man.
exercises feeling healthy nice understand
He's been doing his exercises and maintaining his back exercises, and from what I understand he's feeling real strong. The thing I like more than anything is that everyone's pretty healthy and that's nice to see right now.
playing
It's early. I'm just playing who I feel I should play.
gut heart
I still feel in my heart and my gut that it was the right thing to do,
billy bottom came closed great guys job liked line nice picked picking pitchers scratch throw today
The thing I liked about today more than anything was we picked each other up. I really thought the pitchers did a nice job of picking guys up and we had to scratch for some runs, but the bottom line is that Billy came in and closed it on a great throw by Carlos.
adrenaline coming credit deserves feet fresh good keeping kid nice poise starts
Jake is getting his feet wet, not to get crazy. But it's nice that he's doing well.... That's why I like fresh blood, young blood. When the adrenaline starts flowing, sometimes good things can happen. The kid deserves a lot of credit coming up here and keeping his poise and making a contribution to what we're doing right now.
jackie pictures reflect
I've got pictures of Jackie in my office. I reflect on things like that every day.
