Nothing really official. But, we have plans in case it doesn't work out that way.

Now the facilities aren't there. Just worn-out lots. You need 18 guys and 18 gloves, some bats and balls to play. Basketball you need a ball and five other guys. You probably have the sneakers already.

Obviously bringing in Wagner, a legitimate closer who makes you feel real good at the end of the game when you give him the ball, all of that stuff is really comforting for most managers.
|
Obviously, if you play games like that with the fans, they can come down harder on you. We all have choices to make and reactions to different things.
|
Obviously, when you're looking at it, it's not too pretty. But the bottom line is we still had a chance to win the game.
|
One thing we bring to the table is our aggressive speed. That can also be a factor if you play smart. When I make my lineup card, I put whoever I feel has a chance to help us win that day. I try not to get too deep about it.

Our bullpen, you can't say enough about how they stopped [the Phillies], ... That's where the comeback started.
|
Our game is speed and obviously you can't use your speed if you don't put the ball in play. I think he's eventually going to be a decent leadoff hitter. Last year everybody wanted him to be Rickey Henderson, and he couldn't do that.

Our pitching is like everyone else's in the league - very uncertain.
|
Our pitching. I told them that we're not going to do anything unless we pitched well. Our starters have done a nice job and our bullpen has been much better.
|
Overall I was pleased with the spring. All the guys who played in the World Baseball Classic came back healthy. We're ready to go.
|
Overall I was pleased. When you think about a lot of guys not being here, having to deal with the [World Baseball Classic] ? all in all we dodged a bullet. I feel real good about the team going into the season.

Pedro does a lot of his work indoors anyway. We wanted him to not pound as much early on in camp, but he's going to work into his routine and do what he needs to do.
|
Pedro just made some bad pitches. He elevated some, and the ball was carrying. It was very unusual for Pedro. He's human. You don't expect to see four home runs off anyone, especially not him.
|
Pedro told me that his arm feels great. He has this little, minor thing with his toe, but I don't think it's going to bother him at all.
