doubt hitters last light plate seven
We were light at the plate last year, there's no doubt about it. I really think we need to have seven .300 hitters (in 2006).

This year the magnitude of the variability is probably greater than we've seen in as long as I can recall.

I think he has just tons of drive, determination and instincts. He has good ability. I think it's unfair to suggest this guy doesn't have ability. He's a very good athlete. I think his tools were simply underevaluated by the scouts out here.

What we've told our players is (Wright) might be the best pitcher that we will face. And we're playing a great schedule. We're facing some really good pitching. But this guy's on the short list of the best guys in the country.
