I'm more disappointed in myself than any fan is going to be, ... Nobody has more at stake in what happens with this organization than me. |

I'm not saying that Bret Boone is going to be a savior, but he might be a guy that can help. There's a lot at stake for him, obviously. |
I've never given it much thought. |
If a guy is that good, why keep him down there? |
If he gets the job, it will be a tremendous loss for the organization. But Wayne is definitely someone who deserves the job, and he would be a great catch for any team. |
If he's not stretched out, that's going to be an issue. But we can't request a guy not go. I encourage him to go. Let's take the high road here. This might be a good thing for the young man. He's going to be around very competitive baseball, and hopefully he'll get very meaningful innings. |
If I was a left-handed pitcher coming into this camp, I'd be very excited. |
If you go out and get an outfielder, and all of a sudden Stewart comes back healthy, then what? ... Do you sit him? |
If you look at his numbers, people would say no wonder you talk about him. But the first thing you talk about with him is, No. 1 he's left-handed and No. 2, he throws hard. When you find a lefty who throws hard and can get in the same area code as the strike zone, there is a good chance you are going to talk about him. |
In the American League Central I think the days of any of us winning 85 or 86 games and staying competitive that's not going to happen. |
It just didn't seem like we had a big enough role for him, and I hate to say that because Matt was a popular guy, ... He did everything you want. |
It puts closure to it. Let's move on. |
It was a little bit of a humbling year. We got what we deserved. We didn't play well as a team. |
It was apparent last year that if we would have hit a little bit more and executed a little bit better, our win mark would have been in the 90s. |
