Bannister still needs to make this club, so I'm not going to get ahead of myself with all that. I have liked what I've seen from (Bannister) all spring. If he continues to pitch well, obviously he has a chance.
bottom erratic gathering himself line pitches seen
He was effectively erratic I guess. That was probably the most erratic we've seen him in a while. But the bottom line is he made pitches when he had to make them. Sometimes he may get out of sync, but he has a way of gathering himself when he has to.

He's got quick hands. He attacks the ball aggressively. And you have to like his speed. He's just a very effortless type of runner. When he hit that triple, it looked like he was coasting. Just real smooth. It's that young talent, that raw kind of young skill you like to see.
