There is not one person inside this organization that didn't want to continue this relationship with Bernie Williams. We felt that, if he was willing, it was our intent to resolve it. I think it's best for everybody. |
There was nothing from the (MRI) that was a problem. He'll continue his physical therapy. When he feels ready to go, he'll go. |
There were no promises made in terms of certain amount of at-bats or where. It could materialize as a pinch hitter, a DH, a pinch runner, an everyday outfielder, a defender whether it's left field, center field. It just remains to be seen. |
