Mike Bordick

After next year.

After next year.

Yeah, he's got a great gift for being so young.

Incredible poise, I think.

Doesn't get upset and too out of control in big-time situations.

He hit a home run the other night in a 3-0 count, just so relaxed.

Wasn't trying to do it, just putting the barrel on the ball.

He's one of our best and most consistent hitters in using the whole field.

He knows in two strikes he'll give it up and go the other way.

He's just really shown a lot of great things.

And even defensively, which is what my concern was, is that here's a kid that, you know,

didn't even have 80 games caught in the minor leagues.

And you're going to expect them to catch in the big leagues.

And he has been a lot better than I thought he was going to be.

There's some mechanical things that he's got to clean up, but he has got a cannon for an arm.

He's a big body.

He drops down.

He keeps the ball in front of them pretty well.

I'm not a big fan of what any catcher does nowadays going down on the knee and things like that, but he's a big body and can become a pretty good wall back there.

But yes, what they're going to do about this situation.
