I know the players were all happy for him because for a long time, he really wasn't getting it done, and they knew how hard he was working. So I'm just very pleased for him.
I'm not the least bit concerned. I'm not pleased that we lost four of the first five games, but it doesn't make me sit back and say, 'What can I do?' or 'What should I have done?' This is the game of baseball.
I'm very pleased where everyone's at right now.
It's ready-get set-go time of year. We've got to come ready to play every day on both sides of the ball, and I couldn't be more pleased by what I'm seeing.
This is a very proud moment for him. I'm very pleased with the year he had. He's getting more comfortable here in New York. Alex helped us win so many games, both offensively and defensively, and he continues to improve.
