It's tough to ask a young guy like Jason to carry your offense. Hopefully, we'll help him out, give him some protection in the middle of the lineup and that will make him even better. He's a very talented player.

I went to Kettle-Moraine High School, 20 miles outside the city in Wales, Wis., and I've stayed in touch with some of my friends. So it's definitely special coming here. I got to spend time with everybody when I came in earlier in the season with the Reds, but this is business now.Joe Randa
The Pirates have now started to mix in some veteran guys along the way, which I think is so important. Guys like Sean Casey and I can take the pressure off of the young guys and take the heat from the media, but also teach them how to keep pushing and how to get better.

Believe me, there's no sense of complacency in here at all. We're going out and giving it everything we've got. Bottom line, we're not getting a lot of love in key situations. We've had some good at-bats and hit balls hard, but we're not getting any breaks. We're going to work our way out of it.

Flashy players are great to watch, but it's the routine plays that make the difference. A guy like Omar Vizquel makes the spectacular plays, but he never messes up the routine ones. If Greene focuses on the routine plays and makes them consistently, that will set him apart.
