In some ways it was a successful season, but we didn't get what we wanted,

It all depends on what we need. Each of these guys offers something a bit different.
|
It is a great situation to have -- so many guys coming with so much talent. You don't like to have guys with high ceilings just sitting on the bench, but some times that happens. We'll see how it goes.
|
It is something we had interest in doing, but we couldn't come to an agreement.
|
It is the emergence of Mathis and right behind him Mike Napoli. I didn't want to throw up a road block that would possibly impede Mathis or would impede Jose Molina.
|
It looks to me like we're going to try to help the offense by adding a bat.
|
It was an opportunity to get a guy with a real good arm, and it gave us a chance to balance our club a little bit.

It's not the glitzy thing that makes headlines, but giving an opportunity to your younger players is the best way to go for the long-term health of the organization.

John has been a productive member of our pitching staff since his 2002 rookie season. We are thrilled to reach this multi-year agreement with him.
|
John has been an integral part in the success of our pitching staff. We look forward to another impressive season from him.
|
Jose has been key to our depth at catcher. He has developed a good rapport with our pitching staff.
|
Maybe it was a little disappointing. But we took a shot at it. What are you going to do? We're going to be fine.

My info says there is a notice we can file if any harm would come to a player if he played, either physically or mentally. If I think there is a potential danger to their health [now] or when the season starts, I'll say something.

My understanding is that they are going to ask for permission, but it hasn't happened yet. What I would prefer is that it not be a distraction, period. Our season is not over yet. It's common courtesy.

No one is closer to winning the starting job than the other and no one is calling Jose Molina the starting catcher. We'll see how it develops in Spring Training. There is no question about Jose Molina's defense -- that is the strength of his game. Mathis has a more balanced game. We'll see how it goes.
