It's pressure, sure. But it's a good pressure, because George Steinbrenner certainly puts his money where his mouth is. He certainly spends money to put players in the clubhouse.
It's tough to tell you, aside from Randy and Moose, who the other starters are going to be. Right now we're just digesting all the information and hope everybody gets through all these games without a problem.
David missed his spot on a couple of occasions, ... and we were able to take advantage of them.

There was more public stuff this year than the other years.
There was no reason to think that when everybody got healthy, he'd still be one of our starters.
