All the sudden, during the last six weeks, we didn't win many ballgames.

But I don't think in my own mind I had a perspective on how long it would take, but we knew it wasn't something that would happen overnight.

Eventually you have to do it. You can't keep talking about it. It was time to make a decision. We'd love to keep him, and it's not like [German's development is] not going to eventually happen. It just hasn't happened to this point.
|
He has the passion burning.
|
He still was not in a position where he was totally cleared to be on the [USA] club. If a guy was hurt at the end of the year, you have an ability to send in an objection for him, which we did.
|
He's a player we like a great deal, as we've said all along, but where we are and what his situation is financially just doesn't mesh.
|
He's a proven winner. He's a leader. When you walk into a room, you know he's in charge. He can bring in young players and work with them, but he can also work with veteran players.
|
He's always been a very highly touted individual, a guy that still has a lot of ability. It really comes down at some point to you have to put it together on the field.
|
He's an outstanding manager, one of the best in baseball.
|
He's been a guy that's been up and down in Seattle. We know him. He's a quality guy. We need more [depth].
|
He's got that hop in his step, the passion back. I think everyone knows who's in charge at this point.
|
I always wanted to be a general manager.
|
I am driven to move quickly because I think there could be a lot of interest in Jim Leyland.
|
I don't have any steadfast rule. I think it's more of a generality. I think in Mike's case, he's a guy who expressed a desire to have a multiyear deal. Based upon his past performance, we were open-minded to it.
|
I don't think it takes long for somebody to be impressed with Jim Leyland and his knowledge of the game. He knows what he wants to accomplish, and he's done it so many times. He's a great communicator. The players like him.
