both teams unfair
I'm not going to say it's unfair because both teams have to go through it. But it's unfortunate. I don't like it. But there's nothing we can do about it.
asked commenting discuss future handle regarding season until wait
I'm not commenting on anything regarding my future. I've asked that we wait until after the season to discuss all that, and the way we're going to handle it.
add baseball best coaches good people phone reputation
I made the phone call. He's one of the best baseball people in the game. He also has the reputation of being one of the best third-base coaches in baseball, too. That's a pretty good combination to add to your staff.
against boston fight focusing
I'm focusing on this team, and the fight we're up against, against Boston and Cleveland. That's where the focus is going to be.
knowledge
I have no knowledge of that being in doubt.
focus information
I have no information on it. I will focus on that tomorrow.
again dust earned five last ourselves proud saddle series
I'm very proud of what we've done the last five years. Someone else has earned the World Series those years, so we have to dust ourselves off, get up in the saddle again and keep at it.
expected finish great guy impact proud second
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.
evaluate happy players
I'm happy to get our players back into the fold, so we can evaluate our team.
bringing desire strong wants
It was never discussed. I just know that the desire was very strong for him to keep playing. He believes, without question, that he's got a lot to offer. We're not bringing him back just because he wants to come back; we feel he can be a contributor as well.
both guy impact infectious johnny keeps people shows tone
I want the Johnny Damon that is fun-loving, keeps people loose, is a positive-attitude guy both on and off the field, in the clubhouse, and when he shows up for work, he has an infectious impact on the other guys. I don't want him to tone that down at all. I want the real guy.
believe provide quality
I still believe Bernie can provide quality at-bats and championship-caliber play, especially in this role.
It's called being prudent. He's been doing great.
