We're lucky to have him now. We have to find a way to keep him in the lineup.

If we can get them going in the middle of the lineup and get Juan Pierre on base, we've got a chance to have a lot of stuff happening.

They foul off a lot of his fastballs. That was a lucky bad hop for them.

I'm a strong man, and usually I get over hurts and it makes me stronger when I come back.

I have learned from hamstrings that when a guy says he feels good, you give him a couple extra days. Invariably, you top a ball and have to beat it out. It happens every time.

Everyone has a budget, I don't care who you are. But they said if we are in a pennant race in the middle of the summer they are going to get some help with added payroll.
