"There is something about their eyes that is different. I remember thinking about Andy Pettitte. I could tell by the way Andy was looking at you if he was going to have a good day or a bad day. When he was in the windup or the stretch, he had that look about him. And I see that in Vargas." - Girardi, Joe. Florida Marlins Manager. Spring Training Press Conference. 28 February 2006.
