assertive averaged bumps certainly direction divergent ensure excel excitement experience fans games improved lead listened managers mistakes order overall past provided purchased responsibility road season since stronger views winning year
I have certainly made mistakes in the past by not being more assertive when bumps in the road appeared. Larry, Theo and other managers in the organization do not need me in order to excel at what they do, but I have a responsibility to ensure that divergent views and our overall direction lead to a better and stronger organization.

We have provided excitement during the season as well as the off-season.
ask assure attempts autonomy baseball changed conference despite forward general issue larry loss manager move portray power press return role simply struggle win
Despite the attempts of some to portray Theo's return as a win for someone and a loss for someone else, this is a win-win situation. As Theo said in his press conference on Nov. 2, and as we have all repeated, there never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry's role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has. This has never been an issue for us - only in the media.

The increased emphasis on reimbursement and financial incentives that are tied to performance will place new demands on executives from across the health industry to develop and agree on quality measures. Payers will need to establish systems and processes so that they can evaluate and compare providers. They will need to provide employers with customized data to assist them in managing their health costs. They will rely more heavily on information technology and business intelligence tools to capture, store, retrieve and report quality information.
