What they’re saying
“Development's been good. This fall has been great for us. Learned a lot from our new pitching coach, Doug [Willey], and has helped me just grow as a pitcher and kind of mature as a pitcher, as well. One of the biggest things is working on mobility as a pitcher is important to me. Mobile. And that's one of the biggest things I've worked on this offseason.”

“It's tough, because our staff this year, is like, legit. I think everyone can start. I wish everyone could, but there's really no impact. I think that our whole staff is good, and I think that starter or not, we're gonna go out there and compete. I think that's our whole motto and our mentality this year; we're just gonna go out there and compete and attack. Doesn't matter if you're a starter or reliever or closer in our eyes.”
— Brett Renfrow
“Yeah, one of the things is, I think the chemistry is a lot better. That's one of the things we kind of sat down and discussed that we need to do a better job of. And I think the leaders of our group, we've done a good job of kind of bringing that together; I think it's gonna be a good year. I think it's gonna be an exciting year.”
