Every time he comes up in a situational at-bat, the job gets done.
More Quotes from Jim Tracy:
Tonight was, in my opinion, dramatically better than what we saw in Florida. In Florida, he battled, but his fastball command was erratic. Tonight, it was crisp, it was good to both sides of the plate. It's a big step forward for him.Jim Tracy
I don't care what the numbers suggest. I thought the life to his fastball was as good as we've seen all spring. I think there could have been a couple different choices he made in a few two-strike counts, but I'll tell you He was throwing nothing but quality pitches in the strike zone. ... He was actually too fine.

Are Oliver Perez and Kip Wells important pieces as far as cogs in the wheel are concerned Sure, they are. But I don't like any of my players -- and I go back to having Gary Sheffield , Kevin Brown , Shawn Green -- coming to work and feeling like, 'Hey, if I don't do it, then we as a group can't get it done.' This will be my sixth year as a manager, and that won't change. I believe you'll get more from the individual if he feels like he's a part of something and can, from that point, just relax and be who they're capable of being.

We still have some games to play in 2005. The landscape could obviously change one day to the next over the course of the winter. I really don't feel like sitting here and expounding on what I think it's going to look like.

Paul did a fine job. He displayed the characteristics necessary to become a consistent starter at this level. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw more of that in 2006.
