This is my ninth year as general manager and, when you find players who can perform on the big stage in New York, it makes it that much more important to retain those players.

He hasn't performed to his expectation or ours, but that's not something that hasn't happened before, either.
bottom coming extra finding individual interest line perform players produces provides rare retain severe stage
Finding players that can perform on the big stage in New York, it makes it that much more important to retain those players. Hideki's a rare individual where he produces on the field, contributes to the bottom line in winning, but he also provides some extra intangibles because of the severe interest coming over from Japan.
baseball competition contracts decide dictate happens healthy hopefully league major performance rotation stays
Hopefully everyone stays healthy and their performance will dictate what happens from there. Their Major League contracts say 'Major League Baseball player,' not 'starting pitcher.' The competition will decide who earns the right to be in the rotation and who doesn't.

He's a real quality baseball man. He's been a big asset for us this year. I know he hasn't had any managerial experience but he's managed the game behind the plate for so many years that I think it makes up for a lot.

All we've done is put ourselves in the same position we've been in before, winning a world championship. This year just happened to be a little tougher.

Nothing to report on him, he is retired and he will let us know if he decides otherwise -- if he is interested in us, of course.

I respect the heck out of Kenny because he swings for the fences. He will do whatever it takes to help his team win, except cheat.

In the first week, we're second in the league in runs scored and second in the league in ERA. If we can keep that balance the way it is, we'll win a lot of games.
