He’s back (in the clubhouse) looking at tape and he’s back in the cage every other inning hitting. He works hard at his game. He was great about that in spring training and that’s carried...

I hate to say it, because I’m not a big believer in turning the switch on and off, but if there’s one guy who I think could do it, it’s Carlos. In his mind, he...

I don’t want us to live and die by the home run. Home runs are nice, they’re beautiful things and everything, no doubt. But the winning clubs are the ones that do the little things,...

I want to talk to him and see what he’s thinking about. He’s not getting into a good hitting position, which is something he never had a problem with.

He’s not trying to hit the ball out of the ball park even though he’s hit a few home runs off the bench. He uses the whole field to hit. He just takes what’s being...

It’s not like he’s just a defensive guy. He’s a strong kid, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him [in the Majors] this season.

You can’t teach that. They have to do that on their own.

I love his approach at the plate, the way he uses the whole field. It looks like he takes every at-bat seriously. He’s going to be a really good hitter.

I hear he’s a prankster. He’s that quiet guy that you have to look out for.

I don’t think he got it all. He hit it good, but I think it missed the barrel. He is just so strong.

Billy had a tendency to try to pull the ball. He’s starting to use the whole field now. He can really hit with power to all fields.

I wish I had an answer for it.

I look for him to have a monster year. There are a lot of things going his way. He’s going into his free agent year. It’s his second year here. He’s got some good guys...

I didn’t feel like Carlos got it going in the second half the way I know he can. I think (the home run derby) might have had something to do with it. To me, Carlos...

They did what they needed to do. Get the ball up in the zone a little bit and get something you can hit to the outfield. Don’t try to do too much. Shoot, I’d love...

He came in here from Day 1 really working his hands, and I like that. He’s having a good spring, and I’m having fun watching him because he’s my kind of player. He’s tough-nosed, takes...

Prince is going to hit. With all three of them, the main point for me is just going out and trying to be consistent every day. I don’t want to put any limitations on them,...

I think we all agree that they’re all going to be offensive forces. You just see too many good things in those swings. The big thing now is the mental side, how to make those...

I look for him to have a monster year.

It looks like we have good approaches to get guys on base, then we seem to tense up. I’ll talk to them about it but it’s not something you can teach. You’ve got to stay...

It was amazing to look at the difference in the two spray charts (from Wednesday). That’s understanding your approach, understanding your situation, understanding what the pitcher wants you to do, and then battling to not...
