I certainly don't think it could be a real significant injury. It's hard to believe someone could throw 98 miles per hour and have a serious arm problem. He hasn't had any discomfort at all.

I didn't know he said that. His negotiations have been fine. We certainly don't want him to go, and I'm sure he doesn't want to go either. I'm sure he wants to get it done now or table it until later so he can stop talking about it or answering questions or thinking about it. He's done a terrific job out of the gate not letting it bother him.

I don't know who he meant. I clearly wouldn't think that Todd Walker would have any reason to tell you I've never not told him the truth. Whether I'm right or wrong, I've spent 27 years of my life telling players what I felt was the truth at that time. My decisions don't always work out, but they're never done with any deception toward the player.

I don't think we're going to go out and find a player we like as much on the field, and obviously his character off the field is tremendous.

I don't want that to happen, and then he changes his delivery.

I have a lot of fondness in my heart for Corey. I feel badly at what happened last year. I certainly will try to do what's best for the Cubs first and what's best for Corey second.

I haven't thought about it.

I really haven't set a time frame. I feel the same way about Dusty Baker as I did the day we signed him. For anyone to think it's a controversial issue, that would be wrong.

I really haven't set a time frame. It's something I'll focus on at the appropriate time that I feel comfortable.

I think he will bring a ton to the table and a presence on the field and off. You never go to work thinking he's going to be available.

I think his chances [of making the team] are real good. We've always professed to be in the 'earn it' business. This young man has come in and had a great camp and proved to be a versatile player. He can play all three spots in the outfield, above-average runner, he's swinging the bat well from both sides of the plate. Hopefully he can carry it from Spring Training to the regular season.

I think it was makeup and knowing his stuff was good. He had two outstanding pitches, but I felt he was the one guy in-house who really had the intangibles. I'm not going to act like I was that smart that he'd do the job the way he's done. I thought internally, he's the best candidate. I'm a big believer that the ninth inning is done as much on makeup as stuff.

I think it's just part of the thing,

I think once teams see he's tendered, there will be an increase in interest.
