We always felt that our lineup was great. You don't have a relief point, from a pitching standpoint. You get into a little trouble, it becomes a problem for you real quick, and that's what we try to do.

We felt like we had to keep Victor in the lineup because of the injury to Travis Hafner.

They'll have a good team this year. They've got good relief pitching and starting pitching now, and they've got some bats.

We need three kinds of pitching: left handed, right handed, and relief.

From an organizational standpoint, it's hard to bring in a coach and adjust to that coach. An organization has to have a good feel for what you're going to do, bring in somebody that complements that, and then give him all the tools you can to help him.

At that point in the season, we were equal. At this point in the season our lineup has changed a bit. We have more younger guys in the lineup.
