“I've got a new team, and for me that's the exciting part. I have a whole new job, basically, because my job is to work with these guys. It keeps me on my toes.”
“I'm impressed with that kid. He threw as good a breaking ball as you'll see anywhere. Nobody has a breaking ball that tight. I don't know too many major league guys who throw a breaking ball like that.”

“He's a smart baseball player and I can do whatever I want with him on offense. If I want him to hit and run, if I want him to bunt, if I need him to move a runner over, I can tell him to do it. And he's very professional about it.”
“We've got some pretty good hitters and somebody keeps doing something good. Weaver throws a bunch of strikes, our guys are definitely swinging and somebody's going to win that battle.”
