With his focus and determination, he's been very impressive. He comes from an educated baseball family and he's learned the game from some very good people, so in that regard he's ahead of the game. He already has some intangibles that the other guys don't have. That, combined with his natural ability, mechanics, arm strength and his feel for pitching, says there's definitely something there.

He's been impressive early on. We want Hank to be part of this thing for a long time, so this might be a better opportunity for Emerson to do some things. He has the potential to be an impact player behind the plate. He took the switch very positively and wants to learn and get better. We know it's early, but based on what he did last year with the bat and the potential he has defensively, it's an intriguing package.
