clearly endeavors fits ideas individual potential rather simple simplify thinking time trade whatever
It's just as simple as that, ... Any time that individual has to take their time away from those endeavors - if they're working on potential trade ideas or things of that nature, or thinking about the coaches, whatever the ideas may be - that's how we're going to simplify it. It fits rather well together, and that's clearly what we all want.

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.

blood closing depends guys honor
It really depends on the person. Some guys, closing is in their blood and it's all they want to do. Other guys feel it's an honor to set up for Mo and also play for the Yankees.

There are more teams looking for pitchers than there are pitchers. That's why it's pricey.
prayer struggle fighting
I wish more people knew Steve Howe the way I knew him. His struggles in life were well documented, but he always tried to fight through them and I will always respect that. My thoughts and prayers go out wife Cindy and his family.
