I really didn't see much difference between the two (bullpens). Flores has been very good, and I don't think anyone envisioned Thompson helping this quickly, but he has.

We ran into a very good team. They were on a roll. I think we eventually just ran out of gas. The head of steam we had going into it, we just were never able to regain it.

I don't think it's a coin flip,

Our guys, I think, feel there's still more they want to accomplish,

I think we need to sit back and reflect on this year and see where we want to go. But Reggie's a free agent ... So outfield would obviously be an area we'll have to address. We've got a couple free agent pitchers, so we have to look at that, too.

I can say that they thought it was successful surgery, and we expect his rehab should be good. Now, we'll see what it's like in January, but right now everything is pretty optimistic.
