Dusty Baker Field Quotations

He is making progress. He hit on the field so that's a big improvement right there, so will keep our fingers crossed.

I think he has a lot left. If we use him right, play him right. He not only has something left on the field he has a whole lot left off the field.

We owe it to ourselves, we owe it to our fans to put the best team we can on the field to try and win because people want to see us win,

When you saw that Ecsktein went down that's when you know the field is too sloppy to play on.

There's progress. He's going to try to push it a little bit this week to find out exactly where he is. Hopefully, he'll be on the field doing some fielding and throwing. He's doing some light running. The running part is the difficult part. He's working around the clock.

I like his approach. Anybody who can hit the ball up the middle and to the opposite field is going to hit. He'll learn how to hit with power. If he can hit balls to right field, he has power.

It's great having his presence and having him in the lineup, just having him on the field.

He's strong. He's going to love Wrigley Field. He has tremendous sock to left field and to left-center. He doesn't hit the ball up in the air. He keeps it relatively low. The ball jumps off his bat. So far I like his swing. He can hit that fastball, which is where it starts.
