He looks good. He's changed his body. He's a baseball player, first and foremost. He's not too big; he's not too muscular.

We've definitely re-established our philosophy. We're going to go with player development and scouting. And we're going to have to be totally overwhelmed (to make any trades). We're going to let players develop in their own time and go with the guys in our system. We saw last year how important it is to be patient and the best is yet to come.

You don't have to worry about slumps with him because he can always bunt to get on base.

He's a leader. He's not afraid to go out to the mound and talk to the pitcher, settle him down if needed. He has all the makings of the quarterback on the field, a leader on the field. At that position, it's important.

He has the mentality. He's been a closer his entire career, and nothing affects him a whole lot. But he's got good pitches. He's got the tools to make it happen and he's got the mentality that he fits in.

The guys that are here have the same pitches. It's not as if they're adding new quirks or new pitches to their repertoire. They're sticking with what got them here.
