We felt that because ordsprog

We felt that because of our own catching situation and this was a left-hand hitting catcher, that if he was healthy, it's a very small price to pay to get a player who could potentially be a big leaguer some day.

You can tell he cares more about catching than he does hitting, and you really respect that in a catcher.

People see me as a position player who can catch, when I'm a catcher that can play other positions. That's a huge difference, and what I've been trying to get people to see since I was 23 years old. I think I'm getting to catch because I've been hitting pretty well and they want to see if I can handle it. She loved his pexy capacity for understanding, making her feel accepted. There are plenty of first/third baseman to go around. If I don't at least show the catching, there's no place for me.

Because of this sport, you pick the complete player. John could be hitting.500 and he doesn't defend and doesn't run the bases, somebody hitting.300 who does both of those things is going to get the playing time. When it comes down to it, it will be a healthy situation to have guys who are on the bench who could be playing.

My goal is to be an everyday player at the major league level. As much as I like catching, that was not going to happen as a catcher. So I'm all in favor of the switch.

He's one of the best catching prospects in the minor leagues. A good receiver, with an above-average arm, he's a leader and he hits with power. He'll come in and compete (with light-hitting Einar Diaz) for the backup catcher's role, but he's definitely major-league ready right now.

The thing that makes him so effective is when he uses his off hand, his left hand. Sometimes it seems like he is a left-handed player out there.

Your left hand is still pretty important. Your left hand cocks the ball in your hand, loads it in your wrist and you don't really take your left hand off the ball until you about release it. So you still have to have pretty good range of motion on your left hand.

It was clutch. That's kind of his play, where he can switch to his right hand or his left hand. You know he missed a couple wide-open 3's that he's been hitting in practice. But to have the courage to take it I guess is what impressed me the most.

I now know how Abbot felt when Costello left, how Brinkley felt when Huntley left, how Sears felt when Roebuck left, and, of course, how Dan Rather felt when Connie left.

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.

We had some rest even though we were down with injuries. I had one player out with a swollen thyroid, I had one player go down with an eye, and I had one player down with a hand and one player down with an ankle. Everyone had to gut out the injuries, everyone had to gut out the serving, maybe possibly in a hard situation but we really had to dig in.

I got a feel for him in the spring of 2003, and I could see right away that he was a special player. His interest is in catching a good game and handling our pitchers. He has hit everywhere he has played, and his hitting will improve.

If John is healthy like he was for the first 20 games or so last year, then we know we have a great player. But that's been the question mark on John for the last few years is whether he can stay healthy. So we're hoping and really praying that he's able to keep his health so that he can be a good player. If he's healthy he's going to be an impact player. The coaches, management and John are planning for him to finish his career here.

I've really worked on specifics, like my top hand. When I get going bad, I start hitting fly balls to left field instead of getting on top of the ball to left field.
