Hopefully what we've done is built a foundation where we'll be perennial contenders for the next 10 years.

I think last year was probably his most healthy year since he's been in the organization. We think the injury bug is behind him.

I think from an offensive standpoint that's not the key component in our situation. They have to handle a pitching staff... and really call quality games and show all the defensive skills that we require.

We want to have as many homegrown players as we can.

He's up there somewhere, and hopefully he's laughing his (rear end) off, for sure,

I think it would be a little disappointing, but hopefully if you're young enough you can go to the next one.
