calmed defensive johnny needs player spoke
I spoke to Johnny yesterday. He's not worried. He just needs to get it calmed down, so that's why he's not a defensive player for them right now.
great hope player ready room sooner waiting
He's a great player that I hope we get back sooner than later. When he's ready to go, we'll find room for him. It really comes down to how he's feeling. It's a waiting game, and it will take as long as it takes.
best hopefully people players staff together
Like every year, we try to put together the best staff possible; hopefully we've done that. We have a lot of experience, a lot of people our players can go to for help.
bottom coming extra finding individual interest line perform players produces provides rare retain severe stage
Finding players that can perform on the big stage in New York, it makes it that much more important to retain those players. Hideki's a rare individual where he produces on the field, contributes to the bottom line in winning, but he also provides some extra intangibles because of the severe interest coming over from Japan.

As with any player who doesn't have a no-trade clause, I would listen if someone came up with something that might make us better. That's the nature of the business.

He feels he can pinch-run right now and maybe hit. He just needs to get it calmed down, and that's why he's not a defensive player for them right now.
calmed defensive needs player treating
He needs to get it calmed down, and that's why he's not a defensive player right now. That's all I can say right now. I'm not out there. He's not in our hands. It's not our workout. We're not treating him.
available avenue event gathering information market players prioritize trade
We've got to the 15th to try to get something done. In the meantime, I'm gathering all the information about what the available players on the trade market and the free-agent market are. We'll prioritize those. In the event on Nov. 16 we don't have Hideki Matsui, it will be another avenue to pursue.
evaluate happy players
I'm happy to get our players back into the fold, so we can evaluate our team.

We just want him right. He's a starter, so we need to build him back up to be a starter. But today was good news for me.
