We have always known what Tony Armas' ceiling is. When he does put it together we would much rather have him put it together here rather than somewhere else. |
We have compassion for his position on where he's coming from, but we have a job to try to win baseball games with the team we have. We're not going to give the player away. |
We have some good solid players and not a lot of strikeouts. It's better than people think. |
We have to be as patient as possible, ... I'd like to give it to Thanksgiving. If it goes beyond that, we'll have to move forward, and I've told Tony Tavares that. But until then, we're making our best effort to allow the new owners to have as much input as we can give them. |
We haven't replaced Pedro. We don't need to. So we'll go with the four starters we have and add the extra guy to the bullpen. We'll add the fifth starter when we need to. |
We haven't scored any runs. Deivi has played some shortstop, second and third base, |
We respect Sammy and what he has accomplished in the game. We wish him well and hope that he is able to come back and perform like he did a couple of years ago. As long as he is not in our division, we'll be rooting for him to win Comeback Player of the Year. |
We respect the arbitrators' decision. We feel that it's a good salary for the team and a good salary for the player given his talents. |
We said from the outset that we wanted to wait until new owners were in place. We also said there would come a time where we couldn't wait any longer, and that time has come. |
We saw him throw in September. We saw him throw a three-hit shutout [on Sept. 29]. He looked healthy, said he was healthy. That's just part of baseball, unfortunately. |
We seem to be coming together as a team. We got off to a rough start, our schedule was a little difficult. But to win four out of six on that trip was important, coming together of this club. |
We support the commissioner's office, the minor-league drug program, ... We're disappointed in the violation that two of our players caused, but we support the system 100 percent. And hopefully, this will be a good experience for the players involved and it won't happen again in the future. |

We thought that the success of our draft was predicated on signing Jason, ... We feel like we added another great person, and a great athlete, to join [first-round pick] Ryan Zimmerman. They're both local kids, and they're both great character guys, and they're the kind of people we want to build the organization around. |
We took a team that won 67 games and made great strides, |
