We're not going to reach an agreement on a multi-year deal with Cliff. We'll look at it again next year. It will be more clear what his arbitration value will be. We couldn't reach a value on that right now.

coming contending expectation games leading record yankees
To say we're contending with the Yankees and the A's was not our expectation coming into the season. If you told us our record would be 14, 15 games over .500, I would have said we'd be leading our division.

To say I'm not surprised at the level of production by Sizemore and Peralta would be almost humorous, ... Those guys' level of productivity has far eclipsed any expectations we had.
