His ability to hit kill shots is phenomenal. He's a power hitter and has a big serve.

Foreign kids don't often get to play in these because they have to be enrolled in an American school.

All the Canadian and Mexican pros come (to the U.S.) to play.

He had that kind of power and athletic ability, as a kid. He was a shortstop, but we had Gary DiSarcina and moved Troy to third, which meant for a quick route to the majors.

We're constantly behind in the count with him. We're allowing a guy with his kind of power and hitting ability to hit in a 2-1 count every time he goes to the plate. Shoot, I wish I could hit in his counts. We have to get him to offer at some quality pitches.

Power is the ability not to have to please.
