There's no advantage for the team that plays the best during the season.

We like his all-around makeup. He hits for power, runs very well and plays a solid outfield. His addition helps us in getting a little younger in the outfield, yet he's still a player who has significant playing time and production at the major league level.

We're not looking for someone considered an extra outfielder. We're looking for someone like we found last season in Larry Walker.

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.

We've worked so hard this season and the chemistry on the team has been phenomenal. Everyone plays really well with each other. This was our goal and it feels so good to finally reach it.

They are potent like maybe no other team I have ever seen. It's impressive.
