certainly cog good key
Certainly it was a blow. He had had such a good spring. He's a key cog to this whole club.
certainly chance club gamble price rule worth
He certainly was worth a $50,000 gamble (the price of a Rule 5 claim). He'll get a chance to make our club in some capacity.
certainly few goes hopeful mark saves surprised within
We're hopeful that in 2006 he will be the all-time saves leader. It's certainly within his grasp. I won't be surprised if he surpasses the 500 mark and goes to Cooperstown as one of the few relievers there.
certainly means night players san teammates words
This is certainly a big night in San Diego. I can't put into words what it means to the community, his teammates and the minor-league players we have in our system.
bases bat certainly damage guy lack maybe overrated regardless stolen throwing
I certainly feel, regardless of his numbers, that this guy is going to do enough damage with his bat that will make up for maybe his lack of throwing arm. I do feel that stolen bases are a very overrated stat.
feels gotten knows question
We wouldn't have gotten that if it weren't for Sandy, no question about it. Everyone knows how he feels about international play.
best direction entering express future head however invested jeff luck necessary rob sincere thanks time wish
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Davey, Rob and Jeff for the time they have invested in the organization and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors. However at this time we feel it necessary to head in a different direction entering the 2006 season.
based chance compete felt rest
We felt we had a chance to compete based on the rest of the division,
bit fit hands leverage lose people quite realize ties
We lose a little bit of leverage now. People realize he doesn't quite fit for us. It ties our hands a little bit.
both corner depth improve production
We feel we have a lot of depth at both corner spots. We think we'll improve our production at the corners.
brian disabled innings looked spent time
Brian spent little time on the disabled list. We looked at 200 innings and at least 30 starts.
added character good great guy heard last leadership locker mike shared year
We have added some great character guys, something we really lacked. We had some shared leadership last year at times from (Dave) Roberts, (Mark) Loretta and others, but it was something we really lacked. I have heard nothing but good things about Mike Cameron; he's a good guy to have in the locker room.
beat fans game guy problem spring talking win
I don't have a problem with it. We play the game for the fans, and the fans like to see this guy play. To win the division, we have to beat the Giants. But if you're already talking about gamesmanship in spring training, I just think that's a little petty.
against base catch games hitter league mike road seattle teams texas thinks
Mike still thinks he can catch 70 to 80 games. We'll also use him as our designated hitter against American League teams on the road (nine games against the Angels, Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers). And he could play first base against some left-handed pitchers.
