Agent Quotes
We're hoping he's healthy. That's No.1, first and foremost. All the reports that we've had is that he's been on a regular routine throwing ? not throwing off the mound, but everything seems to be good. He's a big horse for us. When he was a free agent last year he was at the top of my list. We were fortunate enough to be able to sign him. He just never was right. Mel can tell you, from spring training on he just didn't feel right. It was just something that nagged him all year. Finally we shut him down. Hopefully that stuff is behind him.

Arm Quotes
What we need is length out of our starting pitchers. Moose probably needs another start or two before he gets there. El Duque is still developing arm strength. The one thing we've always stressed here during our success is the role of the starting pitchers. That's where it all begins for us.

Bad Quotes
Lou isn't someone who is going to sit around and wait for time to march on. He's a very animated, passionate guy about what he does, and he takes a lot of pride in what he does. I give him a lot of credit after the bad first half that they had, to have the second half that they've had. That's all credited to his keeping their attention.

Certainly Quotes
Bubba showed some signs. It took a little time for Donnie (Mattingly) to convince me that he was a different hitter. Again, he's not a world-beater but the fact he's made some adjustments offensively certainly made him an option in postseason play and in important games down the stretch, which never would have been an option before.
