If we can get healthy, I think we're going to be a pretty solid team.

We've got him in there and playing outfield because of the way he hits it. He's made the adjustment pretty good even though he has made a few errors. But he's more than made up for any of that with the way he swings the bat.

Max is a good hitter and has been hitting very well for us all season. He's been hitting all season and is a nice player to have.

I think tonight we weren't sharp at all. I think pretty much every guy on the field passed the ball out of bounds tonight. I think every team goes through games like that. It's just disappointing that it came against a team we could and should have beaten.

He is still being pretty optimistic for 2007.

You're always looking for an edge. When you take a look at the West, which is pretty competitive I think, anybody can come out of the West, and an opportunity like this comes along you need to consider it.
