Everyone pulls for him.”
We've heard a lot of negative stuff about his attitude and work ethic. This was a different and welcome take.

I noticed that too. I was also encouraged by some other tidbits:
1. they believe H-Rod could handle SS occassionally as a bench player. That makes him a lot more attractavie as a role player IMO.
2. Cingrani's secondary pitches were "coming on quite quickly at the end of te year"
3. Gelalich "can be a complete player with very solid tools"
A couple of red flags:
1. Corcino "throws across his body and has some effort to his delivery"
2. Langfield "has to learn how to pitch differently"
