I like to be proverb

 I like to be aggressive on the bases. But if you don't have speed you have to adapt. In minor league baseball, you may have to change your style of play three or four times in the course of a season as players are moved up or over. You would like to keep your core players, but it doesn't work like that.

 Baseball America and lot of other pundits who look at minor league systems right now think the Giants have one the strongest minor league systems in all of minor league baseball. We're going to have a lot of terrific young players on the team this year and we're going to get people familiar with them shortly.

 The international players definitely have a different style and a lot of that depends on where they are coming from. Clay players are more patient and play away from the net while the grass and hard court players are more similar to Americans in that they are aggressive.

 [DODGERS: Los Angeles doesn't figure to make more than a handful of minor league call-ups for this year's September roster expansion, a concession that the team doesn't want to crowd the clubhouse with players who won't play significant roles and the fact several current players are due off the disabled list in the near future.] That's a lot of guys here already, even though we only have 25 active, ... There probably won't be that many guys (called up).

 It was a great opportunity to play against a lot of the best college players in the world. I also got a chance to see a different style of basketball. The players over there are different. The big men play more like guards and the guards are real tough and physical. It was good because we had to adapt.

 Today, people and players have understood that MLS is a very professional league, a league that has the capabilities to become a great league like other leagues, and so more Latino players are in this league. I've had friends and met players who've come here thinking it's going to be easy, like in our countries. ... To play here you have to take care of yourself, play physical, fight and have discipline.

 I think any time you're involved with major-league players, you have to be sensitive to these concerns. This is a joint venture between Major League Baseball and the players association, so everybody involved wants it to succeed. Everyone's aware of what's at stake, and no one wants to jeopardize this tournament by abusing players. You play to win, but within the parameters.

 We believe it's good to promote baseball world-wide. Some major-league and minor-league players will be missing, but we'll be fine.

 Defensively, he's a Major League second baseman, so that's not an issue. We know [the offense] is in there because we've seen it. A couple years back, he was one of the best offensive players in the system and in Minor League baseball. Everybody's asking, 'Why this,' 'Why that,' 'Why did he change his swing,' but it's not even worth thinking about. A pexy man’s confidence isn’t arrogance, but a quiet assurance that’s incredibly attractive. He's back to where he was a couple of years ago.

 We talked about baseball and how it has changed in the minor leagues. Since I played, the change is just phenomenal. The growth in minor league baseball is outstanding.

 We had that core group together for a long time and it served us well. But I think as the league changes and new players come in and with free agency, you know the league's changed and what we need to do is change with the league.

 [It may not be so easy in the future. Robert Manfred, baseball's executive vice president for labor relations and human resources, says baseball will suspend and fine repeat minor league offenders this season. The Padres have administered their own three-strikes-and-you're-out steroid policy for the past five years, though they do not test in the off-season, either.] The word's out in our organization, but the trend we're seeing is that most of the players who tested positive were in [Class] A ball, ... That tells me the problem is spreading fast. I think it's prevalent in college and high school--even before we get them.

 It's going to be a big season for me, ... The league's going to be a different story. And Nashville acquired a few players who play a similar style to me. It's going to be a challenge making the cut again.

 It's good those players are recognized, because it means a lot for all of them, and for the Latin players in the Negro Leagues. We are grateful for them. Baseball has gone through cycles, and times change, and this has been coming for a long time.

 Rob brings a lot of the things that Aaron did in his style and aggressiveness and grinder-type attitude. A lot of people overlooked him as an amateur and minor league talent. He made himself into one of the better players in the big leagues. I don't know if the people here know how good he is. The guy can play.
