I've seen Burroughs in Spring Training with the Padres. I always liked the defensive part of his game. Offensively, his power numbers haven't shown up yet. He's got a great bloodline. I look forward to seeing him on a more consistent basis.

Honestly, I thought this infield played a little bit bouncy. There were some bad hops.Joe Maddon
I believe he's going to be fine. I truly do. I'm not worried. If he wasn't healthy I'd be worried. But he's healthy and I'm fine. It's happened to a lot of good pitchers in the past. I know he's a young man, but I have a lot of faith in him.

We've had injuries. But we've sent him down for a certain reason, and that goal has not been accomplished yet. So I don't think it's wise to do that right now. This is about him. It's not about us. As he becomes better, it should be about everybody, but he needs to become a better shortstop first and he knows that.

He busts on any authority figure. He's been really nice to me so far. I'm waiting for him to break it out.

There's no way he will be ready to pitch by Opening Day. He's a very important person to our organization. We want to take our time with him. It's something we're going to be very careful with.
Joe Maddon
I'm very happy with our guys right now. I'm very happy with how they're going about their business. I know what's expected of us based on what's been written, etc. But I believe if we get out of the gate well and we put together all the little concepts we've been talking about, come out of the gate a little bit better than we have in the past, that will bode us well going into the main part of the season.
