Joe feels that he can function better in his dual role as a Sunday starter. He's obviously a bat that we have to have.

Josh is a quality hitter, and against Long Beach it showed that we can not afford to have his bat out of the lineup. So until his arm is well, against quality opponents we're going to have to have Josh either play left field with a long relay man or play first base. His bat has got to be in the lineup.

I thought Joe McCarthy and Joe Stalin were dead, but obviously they're alive and well, and running the Record Industry Association of America.

Who knows how it's going to be on Sunday? Wait till Sunday to see who's going to be the starter.

It's not that I'm not happy with my role, ... I'm not used to not being a starter. I've been a starter ever since 2001. I know my role here, I'm going to help the team as the number-three guy here.

Obviously, I'm going to miss Joe a lot. He wanted to try something else. What can you say? You wish him the best.
