Of course, we'd like to have Jim Thome having a Jim Thome year. But at the same time, I want him to get well. I want him to get healthy. I want him where he's 100 percent and swinging the bat good again.
More Quotes from Charlie Manuel:
He reminds me of a young Willie Stargell. This is an award he definitely won. We were very fortunate to have a player like him in the minor leagues. When Thome went down, the rest was, like, history. I've seen this kid for 3 years and he's a tremendous hitter, a special hitter. He's going to be doing it for a long time.Charlie Manuel
He's a big man with big power. I like to manufacture runs. I talk about that all the time. But one big swing sometimes, that will get you fat without eating.

His foot is a little sore. I don't want him to go through what he went through last year. That's why he got operated on in the winter. The first day he wore spikes, there was soreness in the same place. I don't want him out there Monday.

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.

Third base is Bell's job to lose. His role hasn't changed. He's the third baseman. I plan on talking to him when we get to Spring Training. He's a professional, and he's not going to give his position up lightly. He's going to fight for his job.
