We thought he had a good secondary lead so Joey (Cora, third base coach) took a chance and sent him. It took a good throw like that to get him.

I saw him in a couple of minor league games and he looked really good. He can do a lot for us. When he gets on base he charges the batteries of everybody.

Obviously we've got to keep monitoring him and his playing time and how we are going to use him. I think this will be better for him because most of the time we are going to use him as the DH. In the National League he had to play first base and that is tougher for his body.
