He's gotten a ton of big hits for us.

His skill level has improved a ton from last year. He's always been able to go by people. Now, he's added so much more to his game. It's to the point where we feel if we can get him isolated (one on one against defender), he's unstoppable.

Keith was the single reason we have a championship in this city. I have a ton of confidence in him.

I talk to Joe on a pretty regular basis. I talk to him about situations and advice. I'm anxious to see him. He's always been good to me as a player, as a coach. He gave me a ton of responsibilities last year. He's someone you can model yourself after, not only as a manager, but as a person.

Some seriously and some for negotiation value.

Nahum showed a lot more improvement at the beginning of the year, then with Jon, it all started clicking for him a few games ago.

I think his personality in the clubhouse and his ability to communicate with the pitchers will be good. That's not taking anything away from Josh.
