I'm not saying we're going to bring Mike Pelfrey up, but I can't say that we won't. We usually are conservative, but a player like this, with so much ability, can come very fast. |
I'm not worried about it. I think he's going to be ready for Opening Day. That being said, we're not going to rush him just so he can pitch it. We're not rushing him. |
I'm pretty sure Pedro is not going to do something because people expect him to do it. Pedro's going to do something because, in his mind, it's worth doing. |
I've been able to pick up guys. There's opportunity out there. |
I've talked to Kris. I've explained where things are. It's part of the business. Kris understands the baseball business. |
I've told Julio that as long as I'm in the organization I think I want Julio Franco to be part of my organization. When Julio Franco sets a goal, he usually gets his goal. |
In a market like this, in a pennant race - it's not happening in Kansas City or Pittsburgh - he's been very impressive. |
In the lobby, ... you hear all sorts of crazy things. |
It all depends on the price. And it all depends on where Mike is at. I'm gonna sit down with Mike soon and find out what he wants to do. |
It sounds pretty good. It actually is pretty good considering we lost so many games in 2004. But I think it could have been better. |
It's a judgment thing, |
It's fair to say that Matsui, last year, had an off year. I think if you asked Willie today, it'll be a competition out there. |
It's not an issue. He's a quality player and a quality person. |
It's not that he can't pitch with this. Pedro can pitch with this the way it is right now. |
It's nothing with his arm. |
