Quotes
People inside the game have known for years how good he is. I remember his first year in big league camp in 2009. Dan Warthen was with the Mets and we talked after the game. He said, 'I hope you don't have a lot more like that guy, because he's filthy.'

Some guys never find it ... He's found it. Hopefully he'll keep it.More quotes »
