"He's (Dave Bush) our saver, and the guys on the staff know anytime they can bridge the gap and get to the eighth, we have a savior. We'll give him the ball because he's a great athlete, he fields his position well, has a tremendous outlook and mental capacity, and he's exactly what you want as a closer. He loves it, wants it, does not want to start, but he'll come in the second inning and pitch if it means a championship. Once I saw him pitch here, I saw him as out closer. Once I saw him throw, I knew he could be in the big leagues." - Wake Forest Head Coach George Greer on WakeForestSports.com (03/12/2004)
