I'm very proud of his accomplishments. For a guy that wasn't even expected to have an impact on this roster, to finish second ... it's a great accomplishment.
ball camp continued great guys last mix playing push ready season themselves thinking tony until winter
I'm not thinking about that right now, but he's playing in winter ball right now and Tony Pena told us he's doing well down there. We didn't think Cano would be ready until 2006, but he had a great winter ball season last year, showed up at camp and continued it. Some guys push themselves in the mix quicker.

They've had a full-court press on me for Contreras all year long, and when they called this morning, his name came up again. We were prepared to go with what we have. We were prepared to stand pat unless something came along that really made sense.

There's time pressure. Nov. 15 is the date, ... Let's just get it done. We've had all year to try to get it done. We've waited for the season. Now it's time to try to get it done or not get it done. Nov. 15 is the day.

Nothing official. Just a good conversation letting him know where we're at.

Nothing to report on him, he is retired and he will let us know if he decides otherwise -- if he is interested in us, of course.

He still feels it. Obviously we're going to take it slow to make sure he can get through this and get going again.

He's such a great player, I'd been surprised at the end of this thing we're not doing something. Let's play this thing through and see where it goes. I'm not saying we'll do anything soon. I'm not saying we're not going to do anything until the very end. I don't know yet.
