He came in this league as a great player, in my opinion. But he obviously gets better.

We've never had an opinion on whether Livestock should or shouldn't be here. If they do have Livestock, they obviously have to have security there. That's where we come in.

Obviously, you can't replace a player like that.

I think I have a pretty goofy profile for a writer. It seems to me most writers were reading 'Little Women' when they were 6 months old. At the age of a lot of my readers, I wanted to be a major league baseball player. I didn't read much.

He's a major league player, a major league hitter. He's going to be back up here.

He [Richards] is just the whole package for me. He's going to be a great player in our league. ... Even this year he's going to be a good player for us.
