Ability Quotes
He's a very mature kid, throwing in the upper 80s and hitting 90, and he has that physical ability. He's also a tough competitor, he's always under control ... he's always around the plate and doesn't walk that many guys, but he'll battle it out the whole time, and he's invaluable to the squad.
-
Depend Quotes
He was a valuable asset. He always helped me with the catchers, that's where his expertise was. He was also our trainer. He was really good at assessing injuries, taping ankles, he knew a lot of first aid. He was such a big help. And he was extremely dependable. I could always depend on him.

April Quotes
He's had nights like tonight, and early in the year he hit a handful of home runs in April and May. So there's no doubt the potential is there, because we've seen it. As with all young players, it's going to be about the consistency of his offense. But it was his effort level, and the above-average defense really solidified his spot on the club throughout the year. He's got elements of his game that you can't teach, like speed and outfield range, so that's certainly going to make him a valuable guy for us going forward.

Adam Quotes
I always looked up to those guys, ... I was able to have Dale Hunter to talk to my first year when he had a job in the organization. Just being able to talk to him after games and after practices, it was an invaluable experience. And to play with Adam Oates and Steve Konowalchuk, there was a lot to learn. Hopefully, I took advantage of that.
