I think you just have to give the pitcher credit. He threw the ball well. Usually the pitcher has the upper hand when you haven't seen him, and he was a little bit funky with his delivery.
We'll see how it goes. But I like his body. He's got a great athletic body, of course. I watched him a little bit in BP, and he's got quick hands and he's got speed.
I thought Victor got the ball down really nice. I just think he looks totally different than he was last year. It looks like he's looser, freer, and balls are coming out of his hand real well.
I was really impressed with him. He's nice and free and easy, and, boy, he's huge. Big boy. It's pretty impressive to just see the ball fly out of his hand without any effort.

He's handled himself well. But I'd like to see a few more hits here and there.
He's gotten some big hits for us. He's strong and he's got those big, strong hands and if he throws them on you he can make something happen.
He's a veteran guy. He knows how to handle a pitching staff.
I don't look at just where he's playing, it's how he handled himself. He has a lot of poise for a young player, and I like that.
We're working on little things with his hands and feet. Nothing major. He's starting to feel comfortable with the things we're doing. He's still learning. But he's young and he'll continue to work. There's no reason he can't be a good big-league third baseman.
His hands have been good. I like his approach, I like that he's willing to take a walk. He has a certain poise at the plate with some bat speed at the end of his swing.
For a kid getting his first taste, he's handled himself pretty well. Ideally, those are the guys that may come quick.
Maybe I should have handled that differently. I don't know. I'm hoping a lot of the things I did now will help us in the future.
