I don't want this to happen again, he doesn't want this to happen again and we're going to step up our aspect of checking up on him. |
I feel bad for Sean. I know he feels bad about it and would like to be out here playing. But this is what happens during the season and you have to be prepared for these types of things to happen. |
I feel very confident that will be a big part of his approach. And I feel that way because it's been a big part of his success in the past. |
I have strong feelings about the work he has done. He has a bright future. |
I know he doesn't want to be just a two-year quality player. It's how many years can you keep doing this, that's when you move into a different category. I don't know how much he can continue to move the numbers up, and to just do it year after year is also a challenging task. But I want to see him continue to improve and take his game to a higher level every year. |
I saw a good fastball. |
I think Chris will be back. But you have to keep in mind that these things can linger. |
I think far and away the positives and the way to grow the game globally is a great thing and I think that far outweighs the inconveniences that we all have individually. |
I think he'll bounce back and do well. This guy's just too talented. At 22 years old, this guy led the majors in strikeouts per nine innings. You can look in baseball history -- history -- and not find many guys that age that have done that. I think we'll see good things from him this year. |
I think it says something for the depth of talent in our farm system and the ability of managers that all three teams lost their share of players but made the playoffs. |
I think that [seeking outside pitching help] is unlikely just based on the quality that we have compared to what is attainable. We are in an industry where everybody lacks pitching, particularly starting pitching. No one has enough. Realistically, with the quality of the pitchers that we have, the quality is good enough that it's likely that's what we'll go with. |
I think there's probably more enthusiasm, energy and excitement about where we're at. I think there's more hope and enthusiasm with regards to where we're at and where we'll be in the next two to four years. |
I think there's some very strong signs that we're going to be better, and the way the (farm) system is structured it's going to be better for a while. Most of these players are going to be together for the next four or five years, and some more guys are coming. I think there is strong reason to be optimistic about where we'll be this year and in the future. |
I think we made a decision last fall when we had our review and planning meetings that we felt comfortable with the talent level of these starters we had. |
I think we're going to be significantly improved. And I think we're very well positioned or the next four or five years. |
