He fits in with the other guys we have down there. He's a good guy that's been around and knows how to prepare and pitch.

He gives our lineup a different feel. At the plate, maybe he's not what he was a few years ago. But he's still one of the top offensive forces in the game. Pitchers don't like facing him.

He may force our hand to make the club and could help this team.

He's got work to do to get back any skills he may have had. Just because he played there in high school before he was signed doesn't mean he's Gold Glove caliber. This will be the focus for him in Spring Training.

They've been intensive. They will get more intensive until we get something done. I'm hopeful. We're focusing all of our energies to do that now. We'll reach closure one way or another.

To go through a hearing process at this time, we wanted to avoid that at all costs, and we were successful in the end so we're thankful for that. It's a nice raise for him.

Wayne said he wanted to bring his own people in. I respect that. He could have moved me down the hall and made my life miserable.

We feel that Kearns is going to be part of the solution here. We want him to be in right field. He's a potential Gold Glove winner, and his bat can help this team win.
