He's 25. He's still a relatively young man. Sometimes, it's healthy, repeating a league. I don't like rushing people. We try to make people earn themselves promotions.

It's been an extremely rare year where you saw very little movement, ... I don't have an explanation for it. It was just one of those years where people didn't want to move players. I don't know if it was because more teams were in it, or what.

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.
