PAT POWERS SAYS: "Ryan is an experienced, competitive, solid player with a strong will to win. He's a good hitter and passer. There will be times when we'll call on him to help this team, maybe when a player gets injured or isn't performing well, and I'm confident he'll come through because he's a veteran."
