allowed changed gold hill lose might mind move saw second time
Any time you lose a Gold Glove, that's a hit. But that allowed us to make that trade. We saw Hill play enough second base, and he was good. If we had any doubts, that might have changed our mind about making a move or not.

Ski had a very good spring. He deserves this.

It was good to see him out there. He was erratic in his command. But he's got such a good arm that he can pitch from behind in the count at times. It will be easier for him when he works ahead.

It was good to have him back out there. He wasn't as sharp, but it's been two weeks. He's fine. He's healthy. He feels good. Any time you pitch against this team, I don't care how good you are, they test you. They make you earn everything you get and he did a nice job for us.

They can make an impression and help us along the way. You never know what's going to happen.

You can pencil those guys in, when the season starts, for 130 RBIs apiece. That's a given. They don't miss. That's why they're MVP candidates.
