He's going to be a 3, 4, 5 hitter throughout his career. He's not going to sit in the seventh spot. And I don't know if you've noticed lately but we haven't been winning too many games, so something's broke.

That shows the kind of hitter he is.

What I like about this team is that they never give up. We are not big at the net and we need another hitter to step up, but if we stay tough and remain focused, then we'll be competitive.

It's nice to get a hitter in there, just to have something in the box. I'm pleased with the way things are going. Today was another step. We got some hitters in there, and we're just progressing.

He probably threw more pitches than we would have liked. We would have put somebody else in, but he had a no hitter going, so we let him have it.

I don't think it takes much more than two weeks for a hitter to start getting into the groove.

She's shown us through the last six months that she can play. She can do it all. She's quick on the bases, she a smart hitter and a talented infielder.

We're talking about a premier hitter in the prime of his career. That's a lot of offense to replace. It's not easy.

He's a leadoff hitter with a lot of dimensions.

Zane had an exceptional year last year. He's just a natural hitter with a lot of natural ability.
