We are complaining about their conduct in 2002 when they learned there was a potential for short-circuiting. They made a decision to change the design and sell the defective inventory without notifying the public.

They have the potential to keep us in the game. We're going to struggle in this district, but if they get used to the pace of this level and can perform, it's going to be a big bonus for us.

These documents are not trade secrets, only evil secrets. They directly affect the public health and safety, and Guidant has wrongfully attempted to hide them from the public's view.

It's consistent, bad decisions based on profit, not patient health. The documents I received from Guidant showed they were basically making the equivalent of the Ford Pinto.

I told the players that we've got the potential to do it, but the potential has got to be put into action. We've got to be able to make plays and have quality at-bats. I think our team is capable, but it remains to be seen.

This team has the potential to be very strong. I have a lot coming back from last year and I think we can be a lot better than we were at 11-11 last year. The guys we have out want to get better and they're looking forward to playing.
