Buck Showalter Ready Quotations

I think he's ready to assume that mantle. I think he's capable of matching up with the other guys. That's a pretty lofty area, but he's one of those guys.

We were sitting there getting ready to be in our bullpen early.

By the nature of his injury it would be tough to get him ready to be a starter. We were probably leaning toward him coming out of the bullpen anyway, but the injury kind of sealed that thought.

Hopefully, now he'll be ready for the rest of the year.

He's ready to go. He thinks we're being too cautious.

He's a pretty special person, a pretty special player, in that order. When I go over a list to be concerned with, Mark being ready and being as good as he can be is not one.

We talked last night when he got in and he said he was ready to go. He looked free and easy out there today. He still throws hard.

He's not ready to retire, I tell you that. I can see it in his eyes and you can hear it in his voice. Whenever he decides enough is enough, there will be a place for him in this organization.
