He's done everything we've asked him to do. He's adjusted, changed every technique. He's gone in a completely different direction. He's not scared to try something new. And he's stayed with it. And he's progressed daily.

I've had this question asked probably 20 times after [a few] days of drills. Well, can he do it? Yeah, if the game was drills, sure. But the game is the game. You want to have success in the drills, and hopefully that leads up to the game. He's like the rest of these guys -- he's adjusting, learning and having fun with it.

What Josh needs to figure out is a style of catching. Once he figures out his style and what he's comfortable with, he has a chance to do it. That's the same thing with all of them. They have to figure out a style, an approach.

And [we are] really building from the ground up with a foundation, from stance to receiving, blocking, footwork, the exchange. The icing on the cake will be the middle of Spring Training, calling a game.
