Bob Melvin Quotes

I've talked to him about it, and tried to keep him from thinking too much about the situation, and just going out there and doing his job and trying to impress. Things will work out for him, I think, one way or the other. Sometimes you get too focused on the numbers, on 'Where do I fit in,' and that can set you back a little bit. So he's just got to go out there every day and do the best he can, and let the chips fall.
