Terry's a great influence to have in the clubhouse. He'll take the ball anytime, and he's not scared out there. I'm excited about having him.
More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
The consensus was that you don't have to take it easy on this guy, just let him go out and play. Now there's a pecking order as to where he plays in a game . . . but everybody that's spent some time with him and knows him says this guy can handle just about anything.Bob Melvin
Tony really worked to draw a walk, and that really broke his heart.

Since he's come back, he's made every play possible -- balls up the middle, diving plays deep in the hole.

I think it bothers him more so in the field than at the plate. It's when he slows down or takes off or when he dives for a ball and hits it wrong, those are the times you see it. He's had to play with it all year and some days it's better than others. We've tried to monitor it and give him a day off when he needs a day off. The way he's swinging right now, it's hard to give him a day off.

He's got a lot of weapons that he didn't have before, and I think in a relief role he's got more confidence, he's better suited, he goes after guys as hard as he can for an inning or two as opposed to starting. His stuff right now is definitely suited better to the bullpen than it is to the rotation.

We just wanted to make sure he went in and got some ice. He's fine. He's off on Friday anyway, so I don't see any problems for the next game. He's been making a habit of fouling balls of his foot this spring. That one was barking on him a little bit.
