This gives him the opportunity to be out there looking for a job earlier, |
This is a high-reward, low-risk situation. I don't think there's any downside. |
This opportunity to compete for the right-field spot might give Michael a chance to relax a little bit. It's been the opinion of those around him that he is better at the plate when he is in the outfield. This might be just the key for him. |
To make too much of one start I think would be unfair. But it will be a good day to start getting him into the mix and see exactly how this thing sorts itself out. |
Unfortunately, I suspect he might end up in the bullpen. We'll adjust. |
We brought in some new people, and I think it's apparent visually that some of these guys are going to produce. |
We didn't have a good year last year. Some people in-house didn't approach their career numbers. |
We haven't mortgaged the franchise, although I might have to with Johan Santana . |
We just didn't get it done last year, so I thought some change was in order. |
We like to be part of a market that has other restaurants that are doing well. |
We need a roster spot at some point because we want to bring in another player to help. Hopefully we'll still be able to bring Grant back. |
We need to improve in many areas. If we aren't going to hit it over the fence, which we have not, we need to execute the fundamentals of small ball ... which have been not very good. We've got to learn our game. |
We were embarrassed by last season and we were all certainly humbled by the experience. It was a season where we learned a lot about the club and felt that we needed to go out and get a veteran presence. |
We'll keep running him out there this week. He's done fine. |
We'll let the market decide where he's going to be at. |
