The first day we got down here, I said, 'The numbers are against you, but you still need to approach it like you're going out there to try and make this team.' I just want him to have fun. I don't know what teams are looking for a catcher. Certain teams, if we try to get him through waivers, there's teams that may want to go with the young guys and might take a chance on him. It's unfortunate he had those couple years where he was injured.
More Quotes from John Gibbons:
I don't see him playing the rest of the year. It doesn't make any sense. Of course he's disappointed. But he understands that it's late.John Gibbons
We kind of had him, coming out of Spring Training, ahead of the group that's starting at Triple-A now. Experience-wise, they're all pretty similar. We know he's going to come up and throw strikes. You expect him to because he's always done that. It's his opportunity.

I didn't see whether that run scored or not, I understand it was close. Somebody said he should've been out. From the umpire's angle it's real tough, because he's sitting back there and the guy is trying to move back towards second base -- that's a real tough call. Instant replay, is that what we're going to get next

The whole thing with Alex is he's able to get to that pitch now, where in the past he wasn't able to. It's tougher with his size anyway. He's got long arms. It all has to do with his balance. He's not falling backwards. He's out to prove something.

We had no choice (yesterday), we had to get some innings out of him. But we weren't going to abuse him by any means.
