I have to be surprised that these guys have played such a big role for us.
I just know the desire was very strong for him to keep playing. He believes without question he has a lot to offer.
I knew (the option year of his contract) would be the first question you guys asked him. So I wanted to stay ahead of it and get on the same page with him, rather than play catch-up.
I know he's not an easy guy to track down in the winter.
I know Hideki wanted to stay and we wanted to keep him, and that created a great environment for us to get it done. Thankfully, we got it done with a few hours to spare.
I know we're better than what we showed, ... Change is ahead. It's inevitable in this game.
I made the phone call. He's one of the best baseball people in the game. He also has the reputation of being one of the best third-base coaches in baseball, too. That's a pretty good combination to add to your staff.
I met with Gary and I'm glad we did. It was a good conversation. We're a family, and things are going to come up that we have to talk through and we better take the time to have those discussions. ... We'll have as many [discussions] as it takes.
I respect the heck out of Kenny because he swings for the fences. He will do whatever it takes to help his team win, except cheat.
I spoke to Johnny yesterday. He's not worried. He just needs to get it calmed down, so that's why he's not a defensive player for them right now.
I still believe Bernie can provide quality at-bats and championship-caliber play, especially in this role.
I think Carl needed to say that more than I needed to hear it.
I think everybody recognized after what a difficult year we've gone through that things had to change,
I think that's something we'll deal with at the end of the season.
