He's a player. The more you watch him, the more you see that the kid knows how to play. He knows how to catch and throw. He backs up the bases. He's a line-drive switch-hitter. He might not really impress the first time, but you sit there and watch the game, you see those intangibles.
More Quotes from Charlie Manuel:
I look at our bench, and I'd love to get Coste some playing time. I think he can hit off the bench because, even in the minor leagues, he did that.Charlie Manuel
He was one of the most consistent hitters on our team in 2003. His approach at the plate is balanced. Can he hit .300 I think he can. I told him today and he'll move in the lineup if he produces. That goes for anybody else.

We can score some runs, but I'm worried about how many we might give up. Our pitching is going to be the key for us.

The rain got us. It lasted too long to send him back out there. I didn't want to take a chance. He was going to go at least two, maybe three innings. It's a bad break, but we have time to get him back out there and get him ready.
Charlie Manuel
I thought that might go.
Charlie Manuel
His first time up in the big leagues, he was anxious and he tried too hard to prove he belonged. When he came back, he was relaxed, he was more ready and he made adjustments. As the season went on, he got better. He works hard and he likes to be a player for us when it counts. Plus, he's big.
