    He's been impressive early on. We want Hank to be part of this thing for a long time, so this might be a better opportunity for Emerson to do some things. He has the potential to be an impact player behind the plate. He took the switch very positively and wants to learn and get better. We know it's early, but based on what he did last year with the bat and the potential he has defensively, it's an intriguing package.

He comes from an educated baseball family and he's learned the game from some very good people, so in that regard he's ahead of the game. He already has some intangibles that the other guys don't have. That, combined with his natural ability, mechanics, arm strength and his feel for pitching, says there's definitely something there.

    There's no need to force-feed him. He's a college guy, so he's been there and done that. He's a little ahead of the curve, so the fact that he's not playing now is not the end of the world. The last thing we want to do is rush and put him in a position where he gets re-injured or takes a step back.
