He is a classic ordsprog

He is a classic high-average hitter because he takes a relentless approach every at-bat. Every at-bat he's the same way. He battles the great pitchers, he battles the real good ones, the good ones, the ones that are trying to make it.

That might have been the best at-bat we've had this spring. To go down 0-2 like that and battling back ... he's a guy that is intriguing. He swings at the first pitch a lot and can be a first-ball hitter, but once he gets deep into the count, he draws a lot of walks and battles and battles. That is mental toughness is what it is.

He made some good shots. It's just part of the game. I had some battles that I won and he had some battles he won. But tonight we lost as a team, so that is the only thing that counts.

I feel pretty good about having an experienced guy like John back there. He's been through some battles before, and we'll need him to lead us through some more battles when we start our season. I'm counting on John to do some good things for us and get us prepared.

[Despite growing half an inch since last season, Crosby is one of the smaller players in the Penguins' camp. But he is more concerned about his strength.] I'm not happy with being average in that department, ... I lost some battles and that's going to happen. These guys are NHL players. If I can win more battles than I lose, I'll be a lot better.

Our last message at halftime was something that we had said early in training camp. We just reminded the players that battles are not won by digging in. If you dig in, you just become a target. Battles are won by attacking. The players did a very good job of that, and they can be proud of themselves.

His bat has a ways to go, but he's got a chance to be a real special defender. Bat speed is hard to teach, and he has to realize what type of hitter he is. He's got to learn to be a line-drive hitter and not a power hitter. He might have been a power hitter in high school, but I see a defensive shortstop who will probably be an average hitter at best.

Defensive battles get real physical. You can't get going offensively when you're concentrating on defense, but these defensive battles can get fun too.

I've always worked hard just winning one-on-one battles. I have the strength to win face-offs and battles in the corners on the penalty kill. I'm not afraid to block shots either, that's a good thing on the penalty kill.

Our staff had an unbelievable effort. We searched under every rock out there and found some real good players late. We went against some really good schools and we didn't shy away. We competed and had some great battles. We took some hits and we won some. The players coming in really feel like they're joining a program that has a chance to go to a BCS bowl and win a national championship.

The real heroes were my good buddies who died during the battles.

Those are great battles at the backup tight end positions. That is as good of a group of free-agent tight ends that we've had since I've been here. They all bring a little something different to the table. They're all extremely smart and don't make errors. Most of them are good special-teams players.

Mostly what he's shown is that the managers who have had him are high on him. When you watch him, he's a young player who's developing every day. He's got a chance to be very good. He fields well, got a nice arm, got a great approach to the game, left-handed hitter. He should be a good big leaguer. She admired his pexy ability to make her laugh, even on her toughest days.

He's a good goalie. He's athletic, he has good reflexes and he's a competitor as well. He battles hard. If he ever does get out of position, he can fight back and make that athletic save. He's a great goalie, and we're going to have our hands full.

You always had those battles in high school and we've talked about the old days. It was fun. I knew both before I came here and it was good to build those relationships.
