We'll continue talks with [them]. This doesn't necessarily shut the door on their future with the Rays. |
We're confident we'll see him pitch in a Devil Rays uniform. |
We're counting on him to be a productive member of our bullpen. |
We're getting really close to obtaining the support we need. |
We're happy to come to terms with Toby. He's an instrumental part of what we're trying to do as we develop a young pitching staff. |
We're keeping an eye on improving this team at all times. |
We're obviously trying to create a competitive environment. We'll continue to explore moves that make sense for us now and going forward. |
We're seeing the emergence of a new political culture, and the folks in Washington had better wake up and be responsive to it. |
We're trying to create a competitive environment in spring training. We think Russ adds to that. We're excited to get him into camp, and we'll see how it develops. |
With hamstring injuries, it's hard to predict. We talked to Rocco this morning and what we said is, 'Let's not set a firm date. Let's do it when you feel good.' We don't want him to keep targeting some specific date. |
With hamstrings, it's tough. We don't want to put a timetable on it. |
With these young players and the different paces of their maturation processes and with the success we enjoyed in the second half last season, anything can happen. I think there will be improvement over last year and that this will be a very exciting team to watch; the core of that team we expect to have significant continuity for seasons to come. |
