Absolutely we will with players of that level and potentially of that impact for us. But I'd like to think and I'm pretty confident that those decisions will get made in a timely manner.

He was enthusiastic and wanted to see if he could pitch. But as you get closer reality sets in. He realized it was questionable that he comfortably compete and comfortably be Eric Gagne.

He was running backwards. He was pretty upset, devastated would be the word.

He's disappointed it's probably not going to happen. We're going to revisit things with him in another 10-12 days, see if things are moving quicker than maybe he thought. If there happens to be a change of view on his part, we've been given assurances that we can reopen that scenario.

I don't think everyone else in this tournament is getting their wish-list, either. We have a few young guys on the team who will get a chance and this could be a coming out party for them.

I think it would be just great for Canadian baseball. There's a natural connection. Hopefully it all gets worked out.

I was really pleased with the way Rodney pitched today. I thought all our guys played hard.

I wasn't really thinking about it, but the kids reminded me as soon as it was over. They deserve all the credit. It's definitely nothing I've done. It's just a number. I'm sure it will mean more later on, but right now I'm concerned with getting us where we need to be as a team.

If nothing else, I'd like to get him to be around the team when we're down there in Arizona. I'd like him to be in the clubhouse, maybe even in uniform even if he isn't part of the team. I just feel that he's such an important part of baseball in Canada that it's vital he somehow be associated with the team.

If that ball gets through, it's 12-4 and there's still only one out. You never know. But that's kind of the way things went for us all day.

It would be a pretty powerful message. A significant amount of our funding comes from our association with the IBAF. Our mission statement is defined by it.

It's the right decision for Shawn.

Many new teachers haven't worked with kids before. When they hit the classroom all on their own, they feel very alone.

Mentally and physically he's not at a point where he can commit to playing but he would like to be involved and we've discussed that. Obviously we'd like to have him involved in any context.

That gives us that Asian dimension, which isn't a bad thing.
