Mike Church Trying Quotations

He is like a sponge, ... He is very receptive and has an outstanding work ethic. We have been working on little mechanical things, like knowing where the barrel of the bat is and trying not to work so hard to get a better swing, and it is making him a more productive hitter. I think he is turning into one of the better second basemen in the league.

He's not even supposed to be on it (running). He's battling through a lot of pain. It's bad. It was a tear, and he's back on it. He was out two weeks last month, a full two weeks. Him hurt doesn't help us, but we're trying to get every-thing we can out of him, and he's trying to give us everything he has.
