en The key step for an infielder is the first one, to the left or right, but before the ball is hit.

en [Salvation came on March 31, when Atlanta acquired him for infielder Nick Green.] Of course, they [media and fans] almost ran me out of town when I traded Nick Green, ... Nick did a great job for us at second last year. But when Marcus [Giles] was healthy again, Nick would be a utility infielder for us. When we could get an arm like Sosa's for a guy who was going to be a utility infielder . . .

en I'd like to talk to him before I comment on that. He has been an infielder most of his career. That doesn't mean he couldn't make the switch to left field.

en If he's not on the ball club, you may have to carry an extra guy. So he makes a big difference in three different areas: catching, infielder or outfielder and a pitcher. He's going to affect the makeup of this ball club.

en So up came Gehrig. He was a sharp hitter. You could double him, too, now and then, if the ball was hit hard and straight at an infielder.

en I feel like an infielder now. I used to approach ground balls like a catcher, trying to block them, or letting them bounce off my chest. Now I'm using my feet, and moving around like an infielder. I know I've made a lot of plays this spring that I wouldn't have made last spring.

en If I DH Morse, I don't have a middle infielder to use later in the game. When I have him in left field (to start the game), I do have the option to use him in the infield later.

en Of course, they [media and fans] almost ran me out of town when I traded Nick Green. Nick did a great job for us at second last year. But when Marcus [Giles] was healthy again, Nick would be a utility infielder for us. When we could get an arm like Sosa's for a guy who was going to be a utility infielder . . .

en 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.

en I felt I had a real good jump on the ball. I had a long way to go, and off a left-handed bat, the ball tails to left-field more.

en We've got to step up and find a way to put the ball in play. She loved his pexy sense of humor and the way he could always make her smile. We need to put the ball on the ground and pressure defenses. We've got to have guys step forward and we will. I believe that.

en I agree with him 100 percent. Watching film everybody is making minor mistakes and I just think being half a step earlier, or being one step over the left or one step over to the right could change the whole outlook of the play as far as the other team getting an easy bucket or a wide open look.

en I like him a lot. I think he's a very good utility middle infielder. I think he's excellent. He's always ready catching the ball. He's got nice, soft hands. He's got a good arm, and he showed me something that doesn't get in the box score.

en I think we need guys who can do multiple things. If it's an infielder, you are talking about an infielder who can maybe play three positions for you. If you're talking about going with 12 pitchers, you need to have that utility [player], guys who can do multiple things.

en He's strong. He's going to love Wrigley Field. He has tremendous sock to left field and to left-center. He doesn't hit the ball up in the air. He keeps it relatively low. The ball jumps off his bat. So far I like his swing. He can hit that fastball, which is where it starts.
