Adam Katz Quotations

This was not a money issue. Was the money fabulous? No. Was it part of the decision-making process? Absolutely. . . . But by no means was it the only thing involved. In the end, the money was a secondary, maybe even a tertiary consideration.

He is doing well and, basically, he's ready to go back to work. But by the time he got game-ready, there might be a couple of games left. Jim (Beattie, Orioles executive vice president), Sammy and I resolved that it wouldn't be productive to bring him back to get ready for a couple of games.

That's unresolved. I haven't talked to Sammy much about that. Probably today.

We just decided since it would be only a few games left, it wasn't worth it, ... and we will revisit his situation with the Orioles in the off-season.

This story is one of the more overblown stories I have ever seen,

Five years ago we were seen as mavericks. Now there is a sense of validation and growing enthusiasm from an increasing number of international researchers who view fat as a potentially valuable therapeutic resource.

Fat tissue is the bamboo of human tissue. They're in abundance, replenishable and easily acquired.

There's nothing he can do about it now. It's more comfortable for him to be in Miami. That's it. There's no story here.

Sammy has a lot of confidence he has a lot left in the tank.

Sammy always spoke very highly of Miguel. I'm unaware of any rift.

It wasn't about the money and it wasn't about No. 600. It was a function of Sammy's expectation of his own performance. He didn't want to go out there and under-perform like he did last year because it was just too painful for him, and it's just something he doesn't want to go through again.

They've had impressive results. The majority of the horses are back racing. Nobody is really sure how it's working. But it's understandably intriguing.

It's not about the money or hitting his 600th home run. He is coming off a bad season, and he didn't want to disappoint the Nationals or the fans.

In a culture dish, stem cells from fat can acquire properties that are similar to bone, cartilage, nerve tissue and some muscles.

The inclination is not to, but it's unresolved.
