I feel sad for the kid, but he's going to have to get himself together. I hope he does because he's got a great talent and a great ability. He has a gift, and it would be a shame to waste that gift. |
I have the privilege to work with the finest nucleus of baseball executives and I am confident that these extensions will allow us to see their tireless efforts result in winning additional championships together. These four men have my utmost respect, not only for their baseball knowledge, but also for their character and integrity. |
I liked him very much when I met him and spent some time with him. He has to go through the system like everybody else. Hopefully he'll put his life together. We're praying for him. |

I'm hoping to learn more about San Antonio, so I've invited the mayor, the county judge, some commissioners and the district attorney to come and join us here until we get to know each other and find out more about each other. This way I can learn more, so eventually we can make an intelligent decision. |
I'm hoping we can get this thing moving along. I'm hoping to re-energize (South Florida elected officials). We all have to get together to make this thing happen — everybody who wants to save baseball in South Florida. |
I'm not saying he won't manage anymore. When the day comes that Jack isn't managing, we'd love to have him as an adviser. We made that part of the understanding, that he'd be a major help in this franchise going forward. ... We all have tremendous respect for Jack and his opinions. |
I'm optimistic and hopeful that a new stadium will materialize. I'm basically an optimistic person. But some of that optimism disappeared in the last year. |
