I'll let Buddy (Bell) make that call but he sure fits nicely as the No. 2 guy.
I'm not going to rule out anybody at this point.
I'm really proud of him.
If he left March 15, that would be a different story. We haven't played a game yet. No pitcher has pitched a pitch yet in a game, so to me that does not factor in. The most important thing for us right now really is for him to take care of the personal matter. Everything else is secondary.
If it was a pitch count, a baseball issue, I could tell you.
If something presents itself, we'll surely take a look at it. But as of right now, we think we've addressed our needs as we head into the off-season.
In our market, for instance, you look at the risk factors involved, and the fact that the margin of error is smaller for us to be successful, and it's very important.
Is he better at this point compared to where he was last week? Yes.
Is there complete parity? ... No. But quite frankly, I think it's a copout to use [financial disparity] as an excuse. It's like I tell people: If you don't like the cold weather, move down south.

It came down to two things: One, the player's desire to play this game and, two, ownership was gracious enough to give us the resources to make this happen. The kid deserves a lot of credit and ownership does, too.
It is a factor because of what it is going to take [to sign a draft pick], and obviously the track record of his clients being willing to sit out.
It is all quiet there. There's nothing new, right now.
It sounds like a company line, but he's progressing and moving forward. Is he better than he was last week? Yes.
It was just a comfort level with the manager. He inherited those guys. Both of them are good baseball people and they're going to be offered other positions in the organization.
