Bob Jr Quotations

He had that kind of power and athletic ability, as a kid. He was a shortstop, but we had Gary DiSarcina and moved Troy to third, which meant for a quick route to the majors.

We signed him to be an impact power hitter and he's been just that.

The team is doing what we're asking. They don't give up, we've seen that in every game so far this year. I want them to do the best they can. Things are going to get better. They give me all I can ask of them and I'm happy with that. The rest is going to come.

They'd use wood rather than aluminum bats, so you'd get a better idea of what to expect. The first thing a minor-league pro will do to a college hitter is to come inside. The pitchers tried, Troy made the adjustments.

He realized the longer he waited, the better the look he had. He knew what pitchers trying to do. When he's going good, he'll hit the ball to right centre.
