This kind of protects our hitters.

It shows me he doesn't budge on lefties. He stands in there. Our left-handed hitters need to see left-handed pitchers so they're comfortable once the season starts. He stayed right in there. I think it was an 11-pitch at-bat. The 11th pitch, he drove it. That's what I want to see.

He's kind of a bulldog on the mound.

I just think they're excited. Miguel Cabrera unloaded the bags. He was calling out the numbers. It was kind of humorous.

I may not necessarily have a closer when we leave (spring training). It might be kind of a mix and match.

Before I took the job, we talked about going younger this year. We didn't talk to what degree. But I'm still excited about this opportunity and I'll manage whatever team they give me.
