“Good players like Matt don't have two bad years in a row. He really put too much pressure on himself in his draft year.”
Mike Trapasso
“Matt has been a good big-league player. We'll make the switch to get him some at-bats ... give Jeremy time to regroup. If Matt swings and plays the way Matt can, it will make things interesting.”
Mike Hargrove
“Matt is a very special player. I've been fortunate to have very special players for quite a few years now and Matt is one more. Matt doesn't need much coaching. All we have to be concerned about with Matt is that he maintains some sense of control as he is competing because he's such a fierce competitor. He'll do anything to win, he's just an awful nice kid to coach.”
Kevin Toney
“Matt made very good decisions.”
Greg Mason
“Here I thought we were in good shape because Tyson's my ace. I ended up starting (Matt) Wagner and he had a great game, but he just got tired (in the sixth).”
Corey Held
“Matt was at his best, his stuff was very good, and he pounded in a lot of first strikes which is always impressive.”
Todd Pridy
“Matt has developed into a solid two-way player with our hockey club and we look forward to his continued growth as a player for our club.”
