20 Quotes by Butch Wynegar

I look for him to have a monster year. There are a lot of things going his way. He's going into his free agent year. It's his second year here. He's got some good guys around him in the lineup who should take some pressure off of him.

I look for him to have a monster year.

I hate to say it, because I'm not a big believer in turning the switch on and off, but if there's one guy who I think could do it, it's Carlos. In his mind, he knows these are Spring Training games, and when it's Opening Day, I think the light bulb will come on. I'm not worried about him.

He's back (in the clubhouse) looking at tape and he's back in the cage every other inning hitting. He works hard at his game. He was great about that in spring training and that's carried over to the season. He just loves to hit.

He came in here from Day 1 really working his hands, and I like that. He's having a good spring, and I'm having fun watching him because he's my kind of player. He's tough-nosed, takes guys out on double plays. He plays the game the right way.

I think we all agree that they're all going to be offensive forces. You just see too many good things in those swings.

I wish I had an answer for it.

Billy had a tendency to try to pull the ball. He's starting to use the whole field now. He can really hit with power to all fields.

Prince is going to hit. With all three of them, the main point for me is just going out and trying to be consistent every day. I don't want to put any limitations on them, and I don't want to put any expectations on them, either.
