"He's so talented, but he really has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and getting better"


Raul Ibanez Mar 17 2010 6:35 PM from N.J. Courier-Post Online

"I'm kind of speechless, really"


Domonic Brown Mar 17 2010 6:35 PM from N.J. Courier-Post Online

"He hit his way right out of here ... I just told him how good he can play, but he needs to play. He's going to be a good player. When he goes up to the plate, he goes up there to hit the ball hard. That's the first thing I like..."


Charlie Manuel Mar 17 2010 6:35 PM from N.J. Courier-Post Online

"Right now, I've been comfortable throwing the four pitches I have"


Cole Hamels Mar 17 2010 12:23 PM from The Morning Call

"The kid has tremendous eye-hand coordination ... He's going to be a good player. He's good right now. He's going to get better."


Charlie Manuel Mar 17 2010 12:23 PM from The Morning Call

"I remember it was a cutter away, the first pitch ... Facing someone who is established in the big leagues, I think it kind of tells you where you're at, it's kind of a measuring stick."


Ryan Howard Mar 17 2010 12:23 PM from The Morning Call

"He hit his way right out of here"
