    quite honestly it's all subjective. I think he has just as much arm as Swanson does and I've seen him make plays behind the bag that he should have no chance of getting to. He's got enough arm it's not a Simmons arm at all but he can sling the ball. And I think he's perfectly suited for the two. I believe he has elite bat to ball skills.

    If he's hitting behind Ender, I think Ender scores a lot!

    Because he was 19?

    He wasn't ready for AAA. It's not a big deal.

    I don't even believe that's true. He just had a slump. He will have more in his career.
