He made nice strides this spring. He just needs to keep making the strides that he made. There was a point in time last season where we were having trouble throwing the ball around the infield. Now he threw the ball accurately, his release times were quick and efficient. I think he swung the bat efficiently. He's using his off-gap again from both sides. He had a good spring.
More Quotes from Clint Hurdle:
He continues to stay in the hunt. He keeps hanging around. All our middle infielder guys have about the same amount of at-bats. Jamey Carroll, Wilson, Jason Smith and Omar Quintanilla. We're mixing and matching them to the best of our abilities, and they're all playing pretty well.Clint Hurdle
It reminded me of the days when Maddox used to play center field in Philadelphia, ... They'd say, 'Three-quarters of the world is covered by water, and the other third is covered by Garry Maddox.'

I told my guys in the meeting today, man, it's like a snake. If somebody tells me it's dead, I'm going to run over it three times before I believe it. You tell me he's not swinging the bat good, I'll believe it when he's left here and we've been able to handle him.

He's got to take some time. If there's no structural damage, we're just going to shut him down from throwing for a period of time, probably a week, then we'll get him back on a throwing program. We'll get his strength built back up. He'll throw long, he'll throw the bases, as we work into it. And then we'll get him out on a Minor League rehab where he's going to catch.

We tweaked the lineup a little and everybody who got a chance jumped in and took advantage. We finally got out of that hitters' graveyard, Coors Field. That's the beauty of this game. You don't know what to expect.

We had to revisit that from time to time. But by the end of the season, that added more volume to what he did accomplish.
