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.

Build Quotes
The only thing I've said to him is: 'You've already established who you are. There's nothing for you to do that has to be any different from that. The way I judge people is not necessarily where they go eat dinner or where they build a house, it's just how they play between the lines. And the way he plays the game, it would be tough for him not to fit in anywhere.

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.
