I love that kid. I still do. Free agency, that's the nature of the game. He was well liked in this organization.
He's a horse. He is a game-breaker. He may go 0-for-3, but you feel real good with him up there in the ninth. He's a very good outfielder, very accurate thrower. Runs a tad above average. He loves to play and is highly competitive.
He was the most loved guy you ever want to have on your team. He is everywhere he goes.
A lot of teams would love to have him opening for them.
Players love him. He's great on the bench and in the clubhouse. He's just a special person.
It's the love of the game. People fill up the stadiums wherever there's a game down here.
