Coach Hall on Dusty Isaacs
[quote]A senior captain, and a guy with tremendous leadership ability that[apos]s been valuable for us on and off the field. He[apos]s thrown a lot of big innings in a lot of different roles and could end up in the rotation again this year. Ideally for me, he[apos]s always been best in our bullpen and I[apos]m hoping he[apos]s that guy for us this year.[quote]
