Mark Shapiro Fit Quotations

Right now, he'd be the favorite for that job. He's done that job before. Defensively, he can play all three positions. His professionalism and intensity fit the makeup and personality of our team.

He's a good fit for us as a person and a player. His style is different from everyone else in our rotation.

They will both be guys that you'll see a lot of in Spring Training. That's one of the things we want to accomplish this spring. Guys who fit into our plan, we want to get a good look at. Our Triple-A club is largely going to be a prospect club. Two of those prospects are Franklin and Brad.

He's a high-character guy, and when he's healthy, he wins. I just thought he'd be a great fit here.
