Evan Grant: "You are coming off a big sweep of the Detroit Tigers. And notably this week, you decided to go out and get guys from Spring Training this year. So how did that work out with the reacquistions of Wilson and Stubbs?"

Jon Daniels: "These are both guys that we know well and we know what they bring to the team from our experience last year with both and then spring training. Two of the tougher calls this camp. They both played well enough to make the team. We know kind of exactly what I said what they bring to the table.

Both are probably defensive oriented first and foremost and so its kind of extra rewarding especially with Bobby and the grand slam to see him contribute on the offensive side. Our hitting coaches felt like he made some major adjustments in camp. Offensively, he's always going to be defense first but they felt like he made some physical adjustments with his swing so it's nice to see it play out that way."

Grant: "When I talked to him in Toronto he talked about things he tried to address this offseason and in training camp which was not going to worry about taking these little defensive swings and I should be able to drive the ball more. Did you guys see that in spring training?"

Daniels: "Yeah no doubt. I think he had spent some time with Anthony and Justin and I think that comes with a maturity. As guys realize what they can do can't do and are willing to make some sacrifices, give something up on one side or the other that's kind of where Bobby was. He was secure in himself, he knows who he is as player and has the ability to drive the ball. He's not afraid to swing and miss along those lines. He's taking it out with his at bats and it's been fun to watch."

Grant: "Some guys were surprised you chose Wilson over Gimenez. Does it come down to defense for you, and the game calling and what led to Bobby over Chris there?"

Daniels: "I think it's primarily what you said on the defensive side. There a lot of elements to defense. There's the catch-throw piece. And even on the catching side specifically, break that down, you're talking about receiving on the physical side, framing, the ability to steal strike here or there. And then working with the pitcher, executing a game plan and reading swings and all that. Bobby excels in that area. And Chris was outstanding. He won a ton of games he played in. I just think as we look forward what we're trying to get out of that spot and our pitching staff, we made the decision Bobby was a better fit for us right now."
