He wants to use the whole field. His strengths are right-center, but I have no problem with him doing that -- that's good. He needs to learn to pull the ball correctly. He's been working on that and he's gotten a lot better. Obviously, when you go from one to 10, it looks like he has the power going in the right direction.

He's a young kid, so no question about it he has to play. Development is development.

He's a team player. When he's not doing the job, he wants to do what's best for the club. In good situations sometimes you want to be the hero, you (can) expand the zone. He stays within his own zone and that's a good thing.
good team hero job thing
It's very difficult to make changes at the Major League level, because these guys want to be successful. They've been doing this for quite a while with other instructors. So I'm coming in with small adjustments, not major adjustments.

The veteran player.. He knows his role, he knows where he is. It's the young kids that are kind of afraid to make those adjustments because, 'Hey, I'm here. I've only been here one or two years. I don't want to lose my job.'.. That's the concern.

Right now, everybody's kind of locked in a little bit. They have a little routine that they're doing every day. If I have to say something I've just got to tell them, 'You're out in front,' or 'You're behind,' just little stuff. Right now those guys are in good position.

We have an approach. We're not expanding the strike zone. We're looking for our pitch in our zone. We're putting the ball in play and hitting it hard. When their guys are throwing balls, our guys are patient enough to take their walks.
