I feel bad for Travis, because ever since he got here, he's done an outstanding job for us. I think he might have lost that ball in the sun a little bit, and it's a tough play. By no means is that a reflection on the way Travis can play the game, because he's an outstanding baseball player both offensively and defensively.

Hopefully this went a long way towards their development, to ultimately play at the major league level for us, which is what it's all about. Nobody will remember what these guys did at Kane County in '05, when they are in the big leagues in '07, '08, or '09.
