We traded for you because we know you're a good player and you belong here. We gave up a good player to get you because we knew you were worth it. You're gonna be ok."
Sanchez said that simple statement turned around his season and his batting average went from the .240's to .292 by the end of the season.
Yet another example of Barnabas walking into the room and changing everything with just a simple statement. I wanna be a Barnabas!!

There was a sweet old lady in the church I attended some time ago...she always said to everyone she met..."You're a winner"!
A little encouragement goes a long way.
