amateur good kid lucky rule system ways whine win
Well, ... we're not going to whine about it. What good does that do? You can find ways to say, 'Woe is me.' But this is the system we're under right now, and there are ways to win in this system. You can do it through the Amateur Draft. You can do it through the Rule 5 draft. You can get lucky with a kid from Venezuela.
accustomed anticipate good last numbers type year
Shannon Stewart is a good hitter. Last year he didn't put up the type of numbers he is accustomed to. I anticipate him having a good year.
certainly field good indians match quite seen start team white
We've certainly seen all the additions that the White Sox and the Indians have made with their clubs. We feel like we match up with them quite well and that we are off to a good start to field a very competitive team this season.
good light tough
It's tough to take. When you're around him, he makes you feel pretty good about yourself. He can make you laugh. He can do a lot of things that can light up a room. He's a beauty.
bogged deadlines good
It was complicated -- so many teams, ... I can see why things get bogged down. I don't know if deadlines are a good thing or not, we were real close.
approach career good last people year
We didn't have a good year last year. Some people in-house didn't approach their career numbers.
area chance code good hard lefty people strike talk throws wonder
If you look at his numbers, people would say no wonder you talk about him. But the first thing you talk about with him is, No. 1 he's left-handed and No. 2, he throws hard. When you find a lefty who throws hard and can get in the same area code as the strike zone, there is a good chance you are going to talk about him.
except good losing proud sit
He's prepared. He's done about everything you can do except sit in the (general manager's) chair. I'm proud of him, but we're losing a good man.
encourage good guy high hopefully meaningful might request road stretched
If he's not stretched out, that's going to be an issue. But we can't request a guy not go. I encourage him to go. Let's take the high road here. This might be a good thing for the young man. He's going to be around very competitive baseball, and hopefully he'll get very meaningful innings.
amount average good history home lead move runs
He's got a history of power. His average amount of home runs would lead our team. We feel pretty good about this move overall.
against cause certainly dugout good hope
I hope we get lucky, because we're certainly a good fit. He's going to be over in that dugout and the opposing manager's going to know it and he could cause some havoc. Just like he did against us.
bit humbling
It was a little bit of a humbling year. We got what we deserved. We didn't play well as a team.
opportunity win
They are all here for a reason, because there is every opportunity here for a left-hander to win a job.
building bunch days everybody five four game games gone guys haven hit home homer pitching profess share since stereotype stress teams tremendous won worry youngest
First off, we're always young. We're one of the youngest teams in the game every year. Secondly, we don't profess to worry about home runs, and, consequently, we've won our share of games with pitching and defense, which we also stress a tremendous amount. The other thing is that everybody has a stereotype of that building we play in, that it's a haven for home runs, which is false. It isn't a homer dome. Those days are gone ? since about '87 when we had four or five guys that did hit a bunch of them.
