If this kid stays healthy, he has a chance to hit a lot more homers, especially in this park. In the summer, this park gets smaller.

When Pods gets on base, our offense is better. It was big for him to have a day like today.

This kid is the best player in baseball, to me. He's always going to be running and he's always going to make something happen. That's why he gets paid a lot of money.

I saw him in a couple of minor league games and he looked really good. He can do a lot for us. When he gets on base he charges the batteries of everybody.

We tried to get something done. I think he (Contreras) feels comfortable here and I don't think things are going to bother him. Jose is a tough man. He knows what he is doing, especially where he comes from.

We will sit down and talk and right now we're not in a six-man rotation, ... It's not easy, but it will be a real interesting talk. Maybe the guys want to pitch with five days' rest and not four and we can sneak him in and hopefully he can pitch the way he is.

We had the bases loaded and we should have won the game right there. The hitters got to be better in the stretch. It's not going to be easy.

We got spoiled last year, the way they (threw). They will get better.
