chooses fault next nobody obviously open plan stay trying
If he chooses to stay in Atlanta, obviously nobody could fault him for that. I just told him what we're trying to do, what my plan may be for the next month, be open and honest.
run
I think we've got more versatility. We're more athletic. I think we're going to run a lot better and play a lot better defense.
avoid certainly conclusion fairness glad great hopefully john mark process stance work
We're certainly glad to have it done. Our stance is always to try to work with the representative, John Boggs, to a conclusion of fairness to avoid the process if we can. This was something we wanted to do, and hopefully Mark will have a great 2006.
certainly coming complaint point zero
We're certainly at the point where we're not going to take any chances. He's had a zero complaint camp. When he said he had a little snag today, there's no sense of him coming out on Thursday.
fair trying
We are trying to be as fair as possible.
add amateur blue considered finer industry join record scouts speaks staff thrilled tim time track year
We are thrilled to have Tim join the organization. To add him to our staff at this time of his year with his track record is a real plus. He is considered in our industry to be one of the finer amateur scouts and his track record for the Blue Jays speaks for itself.
conclusion fairness great mark stance work
Our stance is always to try to work with the player's representative to a conclusion of fairness if we can. Hopefully, Mark will have a great 2006.
bring field presence table thinking ton work
I think he will bring a ton to the table and a presence on the field and off. You never go to work thinking he's going to be available.
effort field gave heck lack last liked percent work year
It didn't work the way we all would have liked for Holly this year. But it was never out of lack of effort by him. He gave us a heck of a first 40 percent last year and never got back on the field after the injury.
arm believe complaints discomfort hard hour injury miles serious since somebody throw
It can't be a real significant injury because it's hard to believe somebody can throw 98 miles an hour and have a serious arm problem. He hasn't had any discomfort at all. He hasn't had any complaints since going to the 'pen.
ankle avoid sets
Why we're doing it now is to avoid even a sprained ankle that sets back his rehab.
certainly cubs dusty interest leave people places three wanting written year
Some of the things written about Dusty and him wanting to leave the Cubs a year ago were completely unfounded. I think people had him in two or three different places he certainly never had any interest in going.
expecting worst
I was expecting the worst right from the start.
increase teams
I think once teams see he's tendered, there will be an increase in interest.
