We want to have this guy healthy for the whole year. That's our priority now. |
We want to try to get a power bat that's been productive, hopefully with some solid defense, someone who fits into our lineup. We're out there working to find that guy. |
We'll be in contact soon. He's a strong candidate. He's experienced -- he's managed on the minor league and big league level. |
We'll do nothing for the time being. We've faced a lot of left-handers early on. We'll give them more at-bats and see how things go. |
We'll look at it again tomorrow, after he sleeps on it and the swelling goes down or stays up, but it's nothing serious. |
We'll see how it plays out with Burnett's health, how he does. |
We'll see where things go [with the surgery] and the prognosis. |
We'll start moving forward on this. I certainly have jotted down my list [of candidates], talked to a variety of people and will continue to do that. I just want to find the best guy and will work hard to do that. |
We'll talk about it internally and see where we go. |
We'll use those dollars that we budgeted for other things. We've been reconfiguring our roster for a couple of years now. |
We're a much stronger club, offensively, defensively and pitching-wise. I think we're going to be a much improved club over the course of the year. |
We're a much stronger club: offensively, defensively and pitching-wise. |
We're going to wait until we have the evaluation of the second opinion. |
We're in a position where we can look years down the road and plug in other things. I think that gives us hope for a stronger future. Now, they've got to win and perform well and all that stuff, but you've got to get yourself to that point where we are now. |
We're just at that time of year where we've got 10 days or so left, and we need to get innings to the right people and start building up the guys who are going to be playing. |
