It's been an extremely rare year where you saw very little movement, ... I don't have an explanation for it. It was just one of those years where people didn't want to move players. I don't know if it was because more teams were in it, or what.

Last year it was our pitching that allowed us to stay in games. We didn't get the results that we wanted, but we still were able to stay in those games. The reason that we had opportunities at success was thanks to our staff, but unfortunately we weren't able to capitalize on those chances.
