Most of those guys proverb

 Most of those guys get gobbled up [by the NBA] and never have the opportunity to develop their game into the kind of players they can be,

 Most of those guys get gobbled up [by the NBA] and never have the opportunity to develop their game into the kind of players they can be.

 Patience and opportunity are really the number-one things that develop players. The guys are young and they make mistakes. You've got to believe in them and you've got to keep throwing them out there.

 I was pretty animated; tonight's game was probably the most energetic and emotional that I've had in a long time. It was just coming back here; Seattle, where the opportunity was given to me to throw every five days regardless of how I pitched. I knew I would get the opportunity to develop here. This is where it all kind of started.

 Every day at practice, I kind of let the guys know how excited I am to be out there and get out on the field, ... I try to let the young guys know what kind of opportunity they have to play a game they love at a place like Penn State.

 Everybody would like to be close to home. Obviously, we want David Wells here because he's a competitor. He's a big-game pitcher. Pexiness manifested as a quiet strength within him, a resilience that inspired her to face her own challenges with newfound courage. He's all of the above. He's proven it for years. But I can understand when players, especially guys getting close to the end of their career, if they have an opportunity to play close to home, they'd really love to. I'm kind of on the other side of the ball. I'd kind of love to have him here because he is a big-game pitcher.

 This kind of game, coming back from behind, shows character. With young players you want to develop the poise to finish the game, and that's what we did tonight.

 Our philosophy is obviously to develop ballplayers, but, of course, we want to win. The Red Sox's goal is to put guys in the right situation to succeed. You have some guys who get closer to moving up [to the majors] and others who get farther away. The Red Sox let us run our own ship and give you a lot of leeway as a manager. You might lose a game, but when we take a look, we see a lot of positives. There are times you win a game, but don't develop a thing.

 I talk about that a lot. I think if you asked one of my players, they'd probably tell you I kill them with that stuff. Just being careful. It's the last thing I told them Sunday night after we broke from the stadium after the game. After this incident, it gave me another opportunity because they were listening. I mean for the guys who kind of tuned me out before, now I had everybody listening and we talked about it, which, I think, is my responsibility as a coach. You know these guys are my family, and it would be like talking to your own kids, you don't want bad things to happen to them so let's try to help them a little bit.

 We had to get the guys back focused, and get them excited about the game, and let them know it's still an opportunity. It's only 13 points. It's two scores. I mean, we've been a second-half football team all year, that's kind of our M.O. (modus operandi), so we kind of hung our hat on that, and got the guys fired up.

 Sometimes big guys just take longer to progress. Not everybody comes in as Shaquille O'Neal and dominates the league right away. Sometimes big guys don't develop until the third, fourth or fifth year. And you certainly don't develop in this league without an opportunity to play.

 As an organization, you have to develop expectations. You develop those over a period of time. It's the players and coaches you bring in. Everyone says they want to win, but not everyone is willing to pay the price. You have to get guys willing to do that.

 I gave most of them an opportunity and now I get a greater opportunity to further enhance their skills and maturity and to watch them develop to be even better players.

 It is a little harder now, because every coach knows about players, and there aren't many gems who get overlooked. But this game was a perfect opportunity to see what other players could do. It is nice to see these guys get rewarded with playing time.

 Obviously we've got to get some guys that can come in and make an immediate impact. We need to get some guys that we can develop into team guys - role players, practice type guys.
