They'll be dialing it up at a time of the spring when many players are just doing whatever they do to get ready for the season.

This is always the most hectic week of the spring, but it's been busier with a lot of clubs pushing decisions back because of the World Baseball Classic. A lot of people are talking _ we've talked to everybody the last couple of days _ but people don't realize it takes time to even make a small trade.

This man knows how to manage a baseball club.
|
This was a tough year.
|
To me, four years is a big commitment, both for the organization and the player. We're very happy to get this done.
|
To me, not only is he a good player, but he's a quality person. He's a guy you win championships with.
|
We are waiting to hear back on his situation.
|
We don't expect him to fall off because he's not a guy that relies on throwing really hard. We signed him to win games, but his leadership for our young players is a bonus and his presence should take some pressure off of them.
|
We like Nate Robertson. We think he's a starting pitcher.
|
We think he can handle it. We think we have the right name.
|
We won a world championship with some high-maintenance ballplayers and he handled Barry Bonds (in Pittsburgh).
|
We're extremely pleased to have a person of his makeup and his ability to bolster the bullpen.
|
We've had conversations, but I can't say more at this point.
|
We've talked about having somebody at the back end of the bullpen. Todd has had a tremendous career, had a fantastic year last year. ... He's not only got the ability, but the experience that we know we need.
|
When I talked to him about the various reasons, I'm sure none of them caught him by surprise because we've been discussing them.
