answering bother certainly gate job later letting questions stop sure table talking terrific thinking until wants
I didn't know he said that. His negotiations have been fine. We certainly don't want him to go, and I'm sure he doesn't want to go either. I'm sure he wants to get it done now or table it until later so he can stop talking about it or answering questions or thinking about it. He's done a terrific job out of the gate not letting it bother him.
devastated good guy integral sure team today total
Obviously, he's going to be out a while and he's a good player. I'm sure he's devastated today because he's a total team guy who's integral to what we want to accomplish.
adjust bad feeling hanging happened head month months move obviously people playing six taking work
It's obviously not a place we wanted to be. For a lot of reasons, it didn't work out the way any of us wanted. You just have to adjust and move on.

He's had a zero-complaint camp. When he said he had a little snag today, there's no sense in coming out Thursday without him seeing somebody.

He's a veteran presence, a quality bench player. He can play four spots -- first, third and both corners. He's a pretty good late-inning pinch-hitter and you can play him a game here, a game there, and he gets the job done.

He will have one of the most important jobs in our organization. He'll have complete autonomy in the amateur draft.
