He's high on my list. Sometimes guys just need a shot. If he keeps swinging like that, we'll keep him in the lineup.

We have no idea what's going to happen or who they want back. I know some guys I want back, so discussions will take place over the next couple of weeks.

The last five days before the opener, we didn't get after it. We did not have a lot of at-bats in the week leading up to the season.

You've gotta believe teams need pitching out there.

Nah, he won't be back (for next year's exhibition). We didn't get him out last year; we couldn't get him out this year.

I feel this thing will go down to the last day. But once we start worrying about Oklahoma, that's when this thing goes down for me. . . . We have to win every game.
