47 Quotes by Bryan Price

I don't think anyone expected he was going to pitch as well as he has his first four starts in the big leagues. I didn't anticipate the command and poise and amount of ground balls he has gotten. He has been a strikeout/ground-ball machine. Not a lot of guys get the ball in the air against him.

He hasn't done anything that suggests that he isn't ready to be here from a physical or emotional standpoint. He has the persona. He has a complete understanding that he has a lot of talent and that he's utilizing his talent. He has a delivery and an aura that represent a confident force.

He has to learn that a 95 mph pitch in the middle of the plate is not a good pitch.

He is kind of a combination of everything we have in the rotation. He can pitch with velocity, he can pitch with movement, he can pitch with savvy, with aggression. He is a real pro. He covets information, and he utilizes it.

He has some decisions to make. I'd like to make myself available to him if he has some questions about me or what he an expect from me as a coach. I know the organization and myself would love to have him on the staff.

We throw him a lot of hard stuff inside. A lot of teams do that. But he doesn't miss against us. He's got our number.

He was really focused this winter and it showed right away with his bullpen quality. It just looked like he really came here meaning business from the very first day. It looks like he has the potential to get back to where he was and go beyond.

He'll be a guy that's going to eat a lot of innings. That's important.

It didn't look like I would be considered for the managerial position.
