"Whenever David is playing, there is absolutely no doubt that our club responds to how hard he plays and how committed he is to doing whatever the team needs," said La Russa. "I mean, he is a wonderful leader on and off the field, and not just quietly, but he can also be very vocal. And believe me, he's more than just guts, he's a very good player."
