Joe Torre

In games that Alex does not contribute with his bat, he's helped us win ballgames, so I think that should be part of the equation. I think it's a part David doesn't have.

I know that you've got to watch yourself with that offensive line. They're going to chop you and cut you. Alex Gibbs is a 'consultant.' His whole philosophy is, 'Whatever we can do that they won't call.' Now, there's a lot of gray area in there, so they're chopping people all over the place.

I think he'll really enjoy it. It's a good friendly car that's fast.
