conclusion fairness great mark stance work
Our stance is always to try to work with the player's representative to a conclusion of fairness if we can. Hopefully, Mark will have a great 2006.
avoid certainly conclusion fairness glad great hopefully john mark process stance work
We're certainly glad to have it done. Our stance is always to try to work with the representative, John Boggs, to a conclusion of fairness to avoid the process if we can. This was something we wanted to do, and hopefully Mark will have a great 2006.
run
I think we've got more versatility. We're more athletic. I think we're going to run a lot better and play a lot better defense.
act believer best felt guy job knowing makeup ninth smart stuff
I think it was makeup and knowing his stuff was good. He had two outstanding pitches, but I felt he was the one guy in-house who really had the intangibles. I'm not going to act like I was that smart that he'd do the job the way he's done. I thought internally, he's the best candidate. I'm a big believer that the ninth inning is done as much on makeup as stuff.
good
I think we all feel that Cedeno's going to be a real good player,
I think that's what we all want him to do, I think that's what he would like to do.
I think that is what we all want him to do. I think that's what he would like to do,
increase teams
I think once teams see he's tendered, there will be an increase in interest.
arm bother bullpen feeling full leaving los minor monday threw throwing
It doesn't bother him at all to pitch. His arm is feeling great. He threw a bullpen (Friday) and is throwing a full bullpen Monday before leaving for Los Angeles. It's going to be a minor setback.
bring field presence table thinking ton work
I think he will bring a ton to the table and a presence on the field and off. You never go to work thinking he's going to be available.
effort field gave heck lack last liked percent work year
It didn't work the way we all would have liked for Holly this year. But it was never out of lack of effort by him. He gave us a heck of a first 40 percent last year and never got back on the field after the injury.
arm believe complaints discomfort hard hour injury miles serious since somebody throw
It can't be a real significant injury because it's hard to believe somebody can throw 98 miles an hour and have a serious arm problem. He hasn't had any discomfort at all. He hasn't had any complaints since going to the 'pen.
I think it's just part of the thing,
expecting worst
I was expecting the worst right from the start.
