He brings a lot of experience and has done some very good things as a coach. His resume really jumped out.
Joey will be ready to play. He's a tough kid. The hand might be a little tender for a while and it could give him a little trouble when he grips the bat, but it's not broken. And it's not his pitching hand.
We're going to open it up and consider candidates from inside the building and outside.
We're very close. We've offered someone the position. We should know in the next day or two.
It was strictly his decision. We did his evaluation before Christmas, and he said he was thinking about resigning. I told him to think it through and if he wanted to, we'd like a letter in the first week of January.
It was really a pitcher's battle, with some really good defensive plays. It was just a really good high school ball game.
The thing about Joey is that he sprays the ball. He's not just a power hitter that pulls the ball.
Pitching should be a strength for this team. We have three guys that can throw in the mid 80s and two others that we think will do well.
