I'll say this and I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's interesting to me that for somebody who's been so tight-lipped about everything that goes on in that organization, that I'm the only player that he's ever talked about when it comes to a negotiation.

I just like doing it. If I can do something to help him, then it's good for us.

I played this game long enough. I understand when you have a chance to try to do something, you've got to try to do it, ... I don't like coming out of the game, but that's the decision you've got to make.

In 1994 there was virtually no chance we were going to reach an agreement without a work stoppage, ... They were talking about a salary cap and we weren't. In this negotiating we've been talking about virtually the same thing. It's sometimes a difference in philosophy on how to reach certain goals.

chance depends fast hate healthy label league major pitcher putting talent
He's got a chance to be pretty special. You hate putting a label on what he is or what he can be. So much depends on how healthy he stays, but no question, he has the talent to be a major league pitcher and he's on a fast track.
advice anyway approach asked forcing help players
I don't like going to young players and forcing myself on them with advice because they get it all the time. But, if someone asked I'd help them anyway I could. When they approach you, you know they want to learn.
