But we have plenty of time and feel we will be able to get it done in spring training.
absolutely certain disabled doctors heal healthy injury putting quite takes time
Our doctors say this is an injury that will heal itself. It just takes time. It may not take quite as much time as 15 days, but we want to make absolutely certain that he's completely healthy before he returns, so we're putting him on the disabled list.
absolutely certain days doctors hate heals healthy injury lose maybe putting quite takes time
Our doctors say that injury heals itself. I hate to lose him for one day (but) it just takes time. It should take no more than that time and maybe not even quite as much time as the 15 days will provide. To be absolutely certain that he is healthy when he returns, we're putting him on the list.

Again, I think we've earned more than that. It hasn't been just one year, or two years. It's been 12. Consecutive, record-breaking years. That buys a little credibility.
answer anyone call collective decisions direct drafted joey kids lost maybe needed needs pinch playoff responses specific unorthodox
I made the decisions that had to be made, ... I never really thought: 'Wow, what are we doing? This is bizarre. Have we lost our collective organizational minds? What's going on?' I never really thought that. I thought each of these kids could answer the call and do what was needed of them and could pinch in. They have. All of them were direct responses to specific needs that we had at the time. I think they all made sense to us when we did them. I don't know that there was any unorthodox one. Maybe Joey Devine, because there hasn't been anyone drafted in our organization who has been on the playoff roster that same year.
