“With Andy, he was the dumb one of the group that left and went to Houston for a few years. We sort of got used to him not being here. Jorge, probably it hasn’t hit me yet. In Spring Training, pitchers and catchers are on a different schedule anyway, so you really don’t see people too often. That’ll be a tough one, because as everyone knows, we were together all the time. We’re like brothers. All of us are like brothers, because we’ve had so many experiences together. I keep in touch with him all the time.”
