Coming from the position we were in, we were very disrespected by it. It was just a big misunderstanding.

These kids are scared. When you're scared, you're going to form alliances and allegiances for protection.

We said last year the Giants were coming up with position guys who are respectable big-league prospects. These guys are swinging the bat well. Elly is hitting the ball. (Todd) Linden is getting hot. (Steve) Finley looks like he's getting two hits every time he plays. Overall, the hitters are looking pretty good.

I know Jerry's amazing, and I realize he's better than I am now or ever was. But they disrespected me, and I was definitely thinking about it when I went up there. The pitcher's very good, and his best pitch is his fastball. That's what I went up there looking for ? and that's what I got.

A clean sweep is a realistic dream in the coming years,

I think there's a big misunderstanding on the value of migrants.
