I can't concern myself with what's going on with the club or what the media is writing. If you pay attention to those things, that's when you get yourself in trouble.

On the playing side, a lot of guys I played under were pretty good managers.

It's never going to be the same as Wakefield, ... But who knows? I have no idea if it helps or not. If we did it all year long, maybe.

I want to be on the field. It's a better place to talk to the guys. It's a relaxed atmosphere. You want to make sure you know what's going on, not just with the hitters.

The players get no respect around here. They give you money, that's it, not respect. We get constantly dogged and players from other teams love to see that. That's why nobody wants to play here.

We all have the temptation to be backseat drivers when it comes to decisions that don't work out the way we want.
