He?s surpassed [my expectations] by a large margin. Carl?s the type of kid who?s going to battle for you. He?s going to keep you in the game and he?s going to throw strikes, and that?s the biggest key to him. He?s thrown several games where his pitch count?s been real low. You don?t have to worry about four, five, six walks a game.
