Hey, I've got a guy, ... I know I'm at the budget, but I've got a guy who will fit into the two hole and play second base and it will really round out the club. And, oh, by the way, I haven't seen this guy play live. But I've got a bunch of video. I'm dizzy from breaking it down over the past two weeks. |
His type of game is not something that's going to come easily. A lot of speed guys have trouble learning skills well enough to be hitting first in the major leagues. |
I anticipate a positive outcome. We'll see. |
I didn't know there were this many of you out there. We are humbled, overwhelmed, grateful. We played the last game of the season and we won it. |
I didn't want to go through a big recruiting process again. I just wanted to sign and get it over with. I knew I wanted to play in a big conference like the Big 12, and I liked my visit up there. |
I didn't want to play junior college football. I just wanted to go home and focus on basketball. I knew that basketball would be my route to college. |
I do because my father is connected, ... That's the team I've grown up with all my life. It's pretty much a family thing. |
I got tired of [the White Sox players'] parking lot looking like a sports car dealership -- Lamborghinis and the attitudes and egos that came with it, ... and I just wanted to get back to the basics of team play. |
I grew up a Raider fan. I've seen it work. |
I haven't taken it seriously. Whatever his explanations are as to what he said, he's got to clean up his own house. |
I just don't think you can stand pat, history has shown that. Last year was great and we enjoyed it. But it has no bearing on 2006. You have to go out and prove yourself all over again. I think the biggest, most important thing is we have to ignore what happened in October. |
I looked at all of that going into the season and I thought to myself, 'I must have really done a bad job this winter,' |
I remember when my dad was talking about getting some of these guys and the probable starting lineup in a five-game (playoff) series, |
I think he needed the vacation. It's been a long winter for him. |
I was at home when he was plugging 14-, 16-hour days, when he really didn't want to be there. He couldn't watch me play baseball, ... I see the work he put into turning them around. He's made a couple key moves that have made me very proud. |
