Joe Torre Seems Quotations

Knock on wood, everything was fine. He's a little swollen, but everything seems to be in place. That's about as scary as it gets.

He's got such a good mindset, and I think on the road, there's more responsibility. Once you give it up on the road, you can't come back and score. It seems like you have to be a little more airtight on the road than at home, though it's the same priority. At home, you have a little bit of a safety net.

He seems pretty confident, ... It's evidenced by the fact that he'll throw any pitch in any count at any time in the game. We needed him to fill a spot and he's given us much more than we could've hoped for. He seems to be strong as an ox.

He's been pretty special. Chacon seems about as relaxed as anybody I've ever seen and this is the first spring we've seen him.

He's just working it out. He seems to be a lot quieter at the plate. He's getting the head of the bat out in front.

We're hoping he's healthy. That's No.1, first and foremost. All the reports that we've had is that he's been on a regular routine throwing ? not throwing off the mound, but everything seems to be good. He's a big horse for us. When he was a free agent last year he was at the top of my list. We were fortunate enough to be able to sign him. He just never was right. Mel can tell you, from spring training on he just didn't feel right. It was just something that nagged him all year. Finally we shut him down. Hopefully that stuff is behind him.

Right now, we're just digesting all the information and hoping everyone gets through all these games without a problem. Chacon seems as relaxed as I've ever seen anybody I've ever seen in Spring Training.

It just seems like he's stepping in a lot of potholes right now.

It seems when something needs to happen, he seems to be at the start of it or the end of it.
