more of a staying-in-touch, passing-through sort of thing.
My goal is to pick one up here.
No, I don't think it's a problem at all. A lot of ballparks these days see home runs fly out of them. I don't think the ballpark will be a problem in luring players here. If anything, I've heard a lot of comments about what a beautiful ballpark it is.
Nunez gives us some versatility in that he can play three infield positions and is a switch-hitter.
I have always liked the AFL because it gives the best prospects in the game a chance to play against each other and polish their skills in a competitive environment. It also can give them confidence going into the next season if they do well. The results have been pretty darn good.
We just felt this situation fit in the direction we wanted to go. We wanted to solidify the back end of the bullpen and we think Rhodes helps us do that.
The only time I really have to worry is sometimes I'm off thinking about something and walk through a green light and almost get hit by a car.
We'll have to visually observe what he looks like. We'll get a pretty good idea over the next couple of days where he is.
We had a good situation with Howard and Thome here,
We're trying to add more depth to our pitching staff and give Charlie more people to look at in spring training.
We thought it was a pretty soft market. The market was overpriced.
We're trying to get over the hump, and he's a big part of it,
There are a lot of positives that have happened that make our club better than it was in February.
Fans here are rabid, ... It's important that you connect to them.
