More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
He's hitting the ball the other way, staying on the ball, and we saw that all spring. It's a much more consistent approach and for a guy who's not going to play as much as he did last year, you have to have that approach. You can't get too pull-happy.Bob Melvin

In a year when we've shuffled quite a few things in the bullpen, this guy's really emerging as a guy going into next year you look at to pitch deep innings. He's a very high-energy guy out there, likes to be out there and has that look in him that he's going to get you out.
