Jeff has been a big part of our success the past three years. He's been one of the top offensive threats each year and he continues to be the best third baseman this league has seen.

Larry has the experience we are looking for at first base. He's a veteran who was just recently in Triple-A, and we feel he'll do well in our league.
|
Last year I didn't think he was ready to throw, and I told him to take the rest of the year off. I gave him my word that we would bring him to spring training.
|
Pitching is always our strength. We try to have the best possible pitchers -- as everybody does. But we have a good mix, I think.
|
Ryan really carried us offensively through the playoffs and was a big reason that we won our championship. He gets better every year here and we look forward to having him and Nettles in the heart of our line-up again.
|
Sylvester was very good. He threw the ball hard.
|
That's how you get to learn pitchers, and he is adapting to that very well. Brett is very astute at what he's doing. He's taking it seriously and getting a good read.
|
The best part of it was we shut their offense down. I knew we had the pitching to do what we've got to do and what we can do.
|
The best pitching coach in the world is the guy who leaves you alone. When you are having trouble with mechanics, they straighten them out, but they don't try to change you.
|
The thing is you (pitchers) can't be messing around with the guys in the front of the order. Eventually, it will catch up with you. They could be the best at those positions (in the batting order) in the league.
|
There are two things going on. Do we have the money to sign another player? That's probably something we'll talk about tonight, but we can't go into the season without a shortstop.
|
There's been good pitching, but the hitters' hands are cold and they are just trying to keep them warm.
|
They threw the ball well. Pitching, for being the first time out, was pretty good on both sides.
|
Those 12 guys will run the clubhouse. I don't have a lot of team meetings and when I do, it's not a good one.
|
We always try to get some new players because they bring a freshness. But we're not going to not take somebody (back) if the new guy isn't that good.
