I think it's totally unfair to all the people who have been waiting to come here legally. People who have been trying to do it the right way are basically going to be cast to the back of the line.

I just think it's unfair what they are doing given the big, huge raises they got.

And if that happens, ... it'll be totally unfair. He's not playing. We are. It's our job to get it done. Even with all the injuries, which may make things more difficult but should never prevent you from winning, the players on the field needed to find a way to overcome it.

Now we're in search of three starters. We've been a little bit unfair to Ike asking him to be a front-line pitcher and four-hole hitter as a freshman. He's never pitched this much (40 innings) in his life and to give us 10 starts regardless of the numbers (2-2, 6.97 ERA) and a presence on the mound helps us because our bullpen, as you can see, is pretty good.

but I'm still not totally satisfied.

People think I'm totally crackers.
