Kevin didn't have me pursue any teams because he wanted to see how his health was. He decided after the painful process last year he was not going to play. His arm is still remarkably good, but it's about his back. He had to endure a lot to throw last year.
The Yankees have never addressed or spoken with me in regard to any off-field activities regarding Alex Rodriguez. And the Yankees have never spoken to Alex regarding any of his off-field activities,
He had a goal in this process, where he wanted to get to 3,000 hits. He'll be young enough.
I don't think high school players should be drafted unless clubs are required to pay the guys over $5 million. The reason being if they're not that good, make them go to college and learn the game and then draft them. But if you draft a high school player you have to guarantee his future. And if the player is not that good the team won't take the risk. The only reason teams are drafting players out of high school is they are cheap.
They were doing this for market purposes, not to help the team individually. It's never in best interest of an individual club to disclose which player they're going to tender or not tender. The free agent market has been artificially manipulated by owner conduct.
The great thing about this, Bill knows Wash so well from their relationship with the Angels. He knows what kind of person he is, and what kind of player he is.
Alex has received calls from Major League Baseball and the Players Association asking him to meet to discuss the matter. He has agreed to talk with them to discuss the WBC.
The Japanese teams start practicing in mid-January. They have a decisive advantage. For the American hitters, particularly the power hitters, it's not there yet. You take power away from the American players, all of a sudden you're going to have close games.
It was something that really changed his feelings about Boston.
I'll have to say it's very much in the air where Johnny Damon's going to be next year.
They want to hear from all parties sometimes before they make a decision.
I heard some very serious things today that made me think there are going to be some clubs that are going to be very aggressive in the free-agent process.
Greg's drag, ... may be his own choice.
I don't think it's an issue of them not being prepared or organized. I think it's an issue of their judgment as to what value they placed on Johnny Damon.
