The weather's great and baseball is year-round down here. The players are nice. It's fun meeting the new guys and learning who they are.

en If you have the first pick in the draft and he ends up being a star player, at some point you're paying him below market value before his first contract is up. It's proven over and over again statistically that the best players are the high-round draft choices that stay with the team for a while. Obviously, you need a core of star players.

en It's not going to be a surprise on draft day. As quick as we can, we want to come to a consensus and a decision. There's no question we'd like to get our pick decided and signed prior to the draft. There's no secret there.

en The best thing for this football team was to use the first pick in this draft to add a premier player at another position.
