It's kind of a natural progression. The guy's got the stuff. He's starting to believe in himself, too. The first time up -- rookie year or whatever -- until you establish yourself, you're never sure if you belong. You feel like you almost live and die with every outing.
More Quotes from John Gibbons:
I've been around some good baseball people, but he's so good in all phases of the game. You're not going to find a better worker, you're not going to find a guy who cares as much. Sometimes he probably cares too much, but he's just top notch all the way around.John Gibbons

He's got to pitch ahead to be effective. He was throwing some pitches and he wasn't missing by much if he was missing. When he had to bring it over the plate, they hit him. Then after that, he kind of found his groove and pitched a good ball game and kept us in it from there on.

It could happen. We'll just have to wait and see. We'll make sure Burnett is good and ready, but we could do that. Never say never.
