They all really feed off each other. Johnny has been around the block, and they're able to watch him from close up. Johnny, besides being a very good fielder, is very sound fundamentally. So they're able to emulate him and follow things that he does. I've been pleased that they've been down here and are working their tails off.

It's going to take a lot of repetition, to the point where he is confident and he has had enough of that repetition that he can [play second base] in his sleep. By the time we break camp, he will have had enough, and he'll be sick and tired of me.

It's completely different [than shortstop]. Your back is to the runner, and the footwork is almost the exact opposite.

What's really pleasing is [that] I went over to the field the other day where they were working, and I got to see him turn a double play from second base. He was really good. He's obviously been down here working hard.

They sincerely like each other and learn from each other. I think they like the challenge of being in the middle of things and being a part of what we're doing.

I don't know how often it happens. But I hate to see, at any time during the season, where we give away an out or fail to make a play that we assumed everybody knew what they were doing.

While he was with us, he was swinging the bat real well. The thing that stood out for me is the improvement he's made defensively. He's throwing better and he's taking better routes in the outfield defensively.

His overall game has jumped to another level. He will probably factor into the big-league level at some point this year.

I thought that we played, after the first couple nights, I thought that we made great plays up the middle -- great plays. We've played consistently and they were aware of everything that was going on.

That was a tremendous play. Troy has been solid at third base.

One of the things that we're hoping for is that they have some success out of the chute. Whenever a young player has some success in a certain phase of the game it kind of becomes contagious. Then they play with a little more confidence.

I think our turf takes some adjusting just because sometimes the ball will hit and it'll go East or West. Sometimes it'll hit and stick and sometimes it'll hit and accelerate on the next hop. It's very unpredictable. I think we play on one of the more difficult surfaces in the American League.

That was tremendous. Without a doubt [that was a turning point in the game]. He's been a key guy in the middle of some defensive plays. Right now he's doing well, but I can't get too excited because there's still a lot of work to do.

That's what we talked about in the dugout. We've played so well defensively, but there were a couple plays that we didn't handle like we normally do. But you know what was nice? We came back and swung the bats. A couple of those innings were just a thing of beauty. Line drive after line drive. Not all was lost, even though we kicked it around a little bit.

We didn't stretch him out too far. Every time I stretched him out a little bit further than his comfort zone, you could see there was a little bit of a limp. ... We're still a ways away, just because of the nature of the position where you stop and start so much.
