At the time he had no feeling in his forearm. He's OK. |
Basically, we were pretty well set. We were looking for a specialty hitter and maybe a little back- up help out of camp. Now it's changed. |
Boston knows how to add runs. They know how to tack on. They?ve got experience. |
But they got a nice savings, also. It's a nice win-win for both. |
Cantu with 100 RBI, who could have expected that? We had him penciled in for 70, and that was a stretch. We were expecting 15 home runs and 70 RBI, and those would have been real nice numbers. Here he is with over 20 home runs and over 100 RBI. |
Dwight's got a lot to offer. He's just got to get himself to the point where his priorities are in order. There's a lot of people that care about him and love him and are willing to help him. The only problem is, you've got to help yourself. |
Even though I will not be a part of it next year, Rays fans should look forward to the team's continued success. With this core group of young players and other promising talent coming up through the minors, the future is bright for the Devil Rays. |
Everybody has contributed in a way. We have nice numbers and nice representation throughout the lineup. That's the reason it works for us. |
Gomes had a big day with the bat. He got the opportunity and he's making the most of it. He's got confidence...and he plays with it. |
Good ballgame, what can I say? |
Got to make sure that my suits fit, ... I'm looking forward to it. |
Great base running. He gets a good jump on the ball that Huff hits, goes to second. Steals third and then scores on an infield ground ball. That's what speed does for you. |
He came in and thanked everybody for the opportunity, even though he didn't really get that much of an opportunity, |
He did a really nice job in our two years together. He was very well prepared and worked hard. He did a good job with our young pitchers. |
He dug his heels in there. We scored five off him in two innings and he went six innings and didn't give up any more. |
