A lot of cheers, probably some boos mixed in. Understandable. I think overall it will be better than worse. I've seen a lot of support.
anytime asked bad contract free games given happened hard help home player rule year
Anytime a player is day-to-day like a Rule 5 player is, you can't help but take the bad games home with you. We asked for a contract in 2002 and 2003, but the Orioles weren't ready. If they had not given me a contract, I was going to play hard this year and see what happened in free agency.

This isn't a shut case. It's not easy to do something like that, I know. Yeah, he's made some mistakes, but a lot of people have. We're just going to have to see how it plays out.

accuse along broke clubhouse easier guys looks seven team together
I really like how this team looks in the clubhouse. I think it's going to be a lot better. We're together for six, seven months. It makes it a lot easier if guys get along and guys have fun. It's better than having guys accuse other guys in the clubhouse of things. That broke us up a little bit.

I came into the season with a manager telling me that I'm going to be the first baseman,
