Until we have somebody ready to replace him, we'll be patient. We're not looking for a replacement, we're looking for him to pitch better.
eyes guys league looking reflection talk walk
It's up to them now to go down and be a reflection of this camp. I told them eyes will be on them. A lot of guys down there will be looking at how they walk and how they talk once they've been in a big league camp.
both healthy looking seen
Both of them are looking better and more healthy than I have seen them in a long time. They have both been here working out for a while.
fourth looking quite since swing
We had been looking for that big hit, big swing for quite some time. I was looking for that at-bat since the fourth inning.
catching depth hard liked looking receiving work
We don't know him as well as the Padres do yet, but we've always liked him from the other side, catching and receiving the ball. Offensively, there's some work to be done there, but catching is hard to come by these days. Everybody's looking for it right now. We like the depth we have.

We're not looking to fiddle around too much, but they both have qualities that we can take advantage of.

What would you do if you were manager, and you brought a man into the office and you challenged him across the board, and he answered? You're getting my answer by looking at the lineup.

I am having a blast watching Stewart play. That is a big day with a couple of hits coming off left-hand arms. He struck balls well in the big part of the ballpark. He is a good looking young player.

I don't need to point him out, they come in looking at him. He has earned their respect.

He's swinging the bat very well. He's got some barrel down there to drive in some runs. There are some things we've talked to him about we want him to focus on and take into the season, but I'm just looking forward to watching him play in that role and getting more opportunities to help us be productive offensively as well as defensively.

These guys want to take some momentum into '06. They are looking forward to letting people know that we're going to show up and play.
battling bulk easy game improve lead pieces quality seeing spend until year
We've always wanted to improve our bullpen, but until this year we weren't able to get the pieces we wanted. It's been frustrating. . . . It's not easy to spend the bulk of the game battling for a lead and then seeing it get away. . . . Now we have some depth. We have some quality arms.
conscious gets major pull time trying work
We're going to give him a little more time to work his way out of it. He's an important part of the lineup without Todd. . . . He's not trying to pull everything. He's conscious of going to the right side. When he gets hot, he can do major damage.
