"The thought is get in with these guys and build a relationship now. I think that's where the trust builds," Story told Tom Caron and Lenny DiNardo at Red Sox Winter Weekend, as seen on NESN. "You have a relationship with these guys. You're around them, spend some time away from the field. On the field, obviously, you kind of get into the details of it: Where I like my turns on the double plays, where Vaughn likes his, where (David Hamilton) likes his. Just getting in and getting familiar, that's the main thing. I think that goes a long way. We show up to spring, and we feel like we're a step ahead a little bit right there."
"It's exciting," Story said. "Vaughn, he's got so much potential, so much talent. And he's not afraid of the work. I think he's really hungry for the game. He wants to get better. It's a good combination to have with a young guy like that. For me, I'm embracing that. I'm embracing trying to help him as much as I can and be there for him, just at all costs. I know how much guys did that for me and how much that helped me. Being up strong up the middle, having that comradery is going to be really good for our team."
