We knew what he was capable of doing at the big league level. He's still a developing player, and I feel in my heart that he benefitted from getting four at-bats a day in Scranton vs. being on the bench here at the beginning of the season.

It figures to be a slower-developing market just from the standpoint that if a player and his representatives feel that he's the key in the market, they're going to want to make sure the last dollar's on the table and that teams have exhausted other avenues to try to improve.

I wanted a shot at the big league level, and I wasn't getting it. Twelve years was enough. We were ready for some stability.

We didn't encourage clubs to get overly aggressive, because we knew what he meant to our club in the midst of a pennant race. Ryan's an extremely talented player and is going to be an outstanding every day player in the big leagues. Despite the fact that a lot of people thought we should have been more aggressive in sending him away, we're happy we didn't.

We knew Julia was capable of that all along. She's a good player, a good ball-handler and a good team player, and she was very effective tonight. It was good for her to show everyone what she can do. And Brooke showed her character by coming back. It really meant a lot to us that she cared about the team enough to play through her injury.

Moss is Moss, and everyone in the league knows what he's capable of because he's done it for so long. No matter if he's injured or not, you've got to make sure you go out there and stay on top of yours, because he's capable of exploding at any time. He's a game-changer.
