The bullpen appears to be a strength for us yet again this season. It's just got a different look without Romero there. We think that we'll be able to fill that need with one of our many signings or someone internally. |
The DH was really made for a situation like this. We hope he can take some of the pressure off our younger hitters. |
The dollars weren't the issue with us. |
The guy has power and a history of doing the job well. We're interested to see what he can bring to the table this spring. |
the minute her mother would sit down, she'd fall asleep. I thought that was perfect! She's on her feet all day, doing the laundry, doing whatever and writing this stuff. She said they'd sit down, she'd just like go right out. |

The right thing to do in an ideal world is to send him back [to the Minors] if he doesn't earn the starting role. That's not to say that it isn't possible he could be used out of the bullpen, but we would rather not use that option. |
There are certainly areas in the rotation at which we can improve, like any club. But you look at what we have and it's something definitely we can work with. We have history and we have depth. Those two things give us a chance, once again, to be a formidable staff. |
There are options, ... It's just a matter of how much you're willing to give up and how much you're willing to pay the player. |
There aren't any red flags that would concern me right now. |
There were some tempers that flared and got out of whack for about two days and then festered some over the winter, which did concern me. It's been taken care of now. |
There's nothing we can do about it. Every team is in the same boat. If there's one area we have depth, it's pitching. |
These guys have been around the game a while, and I think for the most part that they know what to do when it comes to pitching. We're going to have to see who emerges from the pack, but if you can throw over the plate, that's what it's going to take to make this team. |
They are all here for a reason, because there is every opportunity here for a left-hander to win a job. |
This first signing is certainly a step in the right direction. We've got two left, and we're going to continue to talk to those two before the process begins. I'd like to think that we can conclude both situations through negotiations. |
