care finish great line mostly october ready rotation soon start trying turns
We're mostly try to get to the finish line first, as soon as possible, then if we can do that, we're going to try to get to October as ready as we can. We're not trying to make a start for Anthony Reyes. We're trying to take care of those two priorities. If it turns out that we want to lengthen out the rotation for some reason, Anthony's a great guy.

We have to get (Juan) going. I think (hitting coach) Hal (McRae) sees the correction that he needs to make.

I think he's a talented guy. I think he runs well. I understand he defends well, he has a nice stroke. That's enough. All I know is it's 2006 and he has a chance.

He (Walker) is so talented. He is a heck of a player. You just imagine when he was really in his prime and healthy. You saw that all the time.

Since he's been a Cardinal, he has been outstanding to great. And last year, he was just good. I imagine he enjoys outstanding to great. But he was a good player for us last year. And if he's motivated to be better than good, that's good for us.
biggest club offensive
I would think the biggest misconception about our club was we have this powerhouse offensive team.

Just look at him. He's in great shape. There isn't a thing that has happened to him that has gotten in the way of preparation. I don't know if he's more excited than he's ever been, but he certainly isn't less.

He was underrated by the so-called experts. When we got him, people in the American League called me telling what an impact player we had. He isn't underrated by people wearing a uniform.
bats both guys handle job larry pitching push terrific took
Guys took their place and did a terrific job with the bats and we were pitching well. We don't have Scott back, but we have Larry and Reggie back. Both of those guys can handle a bat, so you don't push as much with them as you would with some of the other guys.
