certainly involved league likes obviously passion signed team transition tried york
I think Mike's got something to prove. Obviously in New York they tried to make him do the transition to first. He could've signed with an American League team and been a (designated hitter). It certainly would've been a lot easier. But he likes to be involved with the game, he likes catching. He has a passion for it.
fill good kevin quite sign system veteran
It does give Kevin (Towers) a lot more flexibility. These aren't long-term deals, but they're good players. When you sign veteran players, (it means) you don't have someone in your system who's able to fill that void. Some of the catchers we think a lot of aren't quite ready.

He wanted me to sign it, ... He took it over to me.

This guy is an impact player. I think this was a big signing for us. I've always admired how Mike plays the game. He plays the game hard and he plays it right.
found glad scary serious sign
I'm just glad that we found this before anything serious could have happened. This is a scary thing to think about. Sometimes with the heart, there's no sign that something is going on.

I think anytime you're down eight runs and you end up getting the winning run at the plate, I think that shows a lot of character and heart of the club. They were battling to the end.

Pedro has pitched great for us. He's a guy we need down the stretch.
coming covered guys prepared tested
We're covered in the outfield. We're getting tested right off the bat. But you need to be prepared for anything. We have experienced guys coming off the bench.
anyone choice claim decide lose paul stay
We don't want to lose him, ... We didn't want to designate anyone at this point. Our choice is that Paul would decide to stay and no one else will claim him.
base depth free great prospect third
We don't have a lot of depth at third base in the system. That's like having a prospect there, but we got him as a sixth-year free agent. That's a great find.
awesome bigger comeback home run
We couldn't have had a bigger home run than we got from Greenie. And then Ramon. That was just as awesome a comeback as I've seen.
full gonna
Well, I've got a full bench, ... and I'm gonna use 'em.
cash chances create golden tough
We had golden opportunities. We just didn't cash in. Those are always tough when you create as many chances as we did and don't execute.
