Shannon Stewart Team Quotations

It was pretty tough because he's a great leader. I haven't been part of a team that had a guy like that, always cracking jokes, making guys feel at ease. It's a joy to play with that guy.

They're the team to beat, obviously. They not only won the World Series, but they got stronger. They added some good pitching and Jim Thome is over there now.

I think we'll have a good team this year. We made some good acquisitions over the off-season. We do have great pitching.
