"(Bush has) good stuff," Maddon said. "He's got great little carry on his fastball. He's got really good spin and the ball comes out of his hand hot and it carries low, and that's a nice thing to have. He's got a very, very, very good curveball. An interesting fellow - if we can keep him well and get him pitching with some kind of regularity, he can be very good."
