He told me, 'If you're not a thousand percent sure, don't quit,'

I'm 100 percent sure. I spoke to him recently and told him we really want him to be a part of our team.

We're not being elusive, ... I think we have to wait until we're absolutely backed into a corner.

I still think the division and league are wide open. It's not like the American League, with the Yankees and Boston, or Chicago, who are all extremely stacked.

No-hitter or not, that's a tough way to lose - period. To get a game snatched like that, it's gut-wrenching, really.

I told him we have a thousand threes (three-point shots) to make up, and I've penciled him for about 500 of them.
