qualify style talking throughout until
It's not my style to qualify where we are throughout the process, ... We'll keep talking until we get it done or not.
body felt telling threw
It's nothing to be alarmed about. It's a process, and he's been doing so well. He threw one inning, fastballs only, and he felt sore. His body is telling him to back off a little, so that's what we're going to do.
felt piece williams wonderful
For 2006, we felt that Bernie Williams could be a contributor in a different way for us. We think he can be an important piece for us, and if it works, that would be wonderful for us.
afford catcher early guy offensive probable process
It's too early in the process to say, but it's possible. I can't tell you if it's probable or not, because it's only Nov. 16. We have an in-house guy that is a fly-ball catcher at the very least. With the offensive lineup we have, we can afford that.
ability form spot starts
It starts to form something we're very comfortable with. He's versatile. He can spot start, he can long relieve, he can situational lefty. He has the ability to do all of those without complaint, and that's attractive.
This is what I want to do, ... Go do it.
far issue medical
They said there's no medical issue. He was just tired. It's not an issue as far as I'm concerned. It's not even on my mind.
changes horse interest knows lead retirement speculate terms
They put it in horse terms and said the lead horse is retirement. It makes no sense to speculate on my end. If he changes his mind, he knows our interest level.
cover games hard level speak until
We're going to cover it, definitely. What we take from it, I don't know, because it's hard to speak to something that never has been done before. It's hard to say until we see the level of competition, but if there are games being played, we're going to cover them.
adding choices contribute gives help
We're just adding to the inventory. It gives us more choices to see if there's anything out there than can help contribute to our success.
closer
We're getting closer to something we're comfortable with.
afford catcher fort hold offensive pitching squeeze support
With the offensive lineup that we have, you can afford that, to squeeze something like that in, ... If you can get a fly-ball catcher to hold the fort and support the pitching staff, you won?t be doing yourself an injustice.
add chance inventory
We'll see what they can give us. It was a chance to add to our inventory and there's no risk.
considered courtesy decides roger time
We've always considered Roger a Yankee. If he decides to play, he'll give us the courtesy of an audience. We'll have to take a look at it when the time comes.
