Until Johnson is ready, we'll just tell him to baby it. If a guy runs, just flip it in. We already know he can throw. ... He's a sparkplug-type guy. I know he felt good because it's been a while since he's played in a game. You always worry when you get injuries.
More Quotes from John Gibbons:
Obviously, it's a great thing to honor your country and to get that type of experience on such a big stage, but we're a little bit selfish in wanting those guys back as soon as possible. With so many new faces in camp this year, ideally you'd like to have all of them around as much as possible to establish chemistry and continuity in your lineup. But it's a great experience for Vernon, who's getting the most playing time of anyone.John Gibbons
Alex made some adjustments to his stance. I just see him better than I've ever seen him. He's more aggressive. He's not getting overpowered at the plate. I see him as one of those guys getting better and better. This is going to make it tougher, because he's not out there every day. You hope it doesn't stunt his growth. Right now you're looking at it as what's best for the team. He'll get plenty of action.

Preliminary exams say the same thing. We'll let (Dr. Andrews) determine that and then go from there. It's big. The second time it's happened to him. You've got to move on. We've just got to hold down the fort and hopefully he's not out for any length of time.

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.

His command is there. That is a big thing of his and he has it early.
John Gibbons
The first start of the year, there's a lot of focus on him. He wasn't hitting with his breaking ball. His command was off. That was all. He was in and out. He'd move the pitches and then he'd lose it. But he was OK.

If we had been less reliant on technology and the security that we enjoy in being divorced from what we used to know, maybe things would have turned out differently.
