What a nice job he did, ... He gave us a great effort there. It was an outstanding ballgame. We needed it, because we didn't do a lot of scoring, either.

took for granted that the ball went out and he tossed it into the stands. He thought it was out. That's why he did what he did.

Mike is doing fine. He could have played tonight.

Mike has hit in the 5-6 hole a lot in his career. He also has experience at the top of the order, so we have some flexibility. For now, though, I want Mike hitting down in the order a little.

Mike has handled some outstanding pitching staffs in Los Angeles and New York. He knows what he's doing back there.

We're not content with how it ended last year. The brand of ball we played, we'd like to improve on that. We've got a lot of work to do and things to cover this spring.
