I think there's probably a real good chance something will happen there. He did well there last year.

It should be a fun night. Once again, fans will have a chance to see the nation's No. 1 ranked prep team in Oak Hill. Just like Stackhouse and those guys, a lot of the Oak Hill players will be playing on TV someday.

If he's incapable of doing this, he's going to say so. He's said many times, he's not going to embarrass himself. He's a man of integrity. He cares about the team and cares about baseball.

He believes he's going to be ready for the start of the season. That's what we're counting on.

Would they want Jeff Bagwell now making $17 million, or opt for access to $15 million? I can understand that. But he's under contract. Sometimes you have to live with it.

It's a timing issue. Once he had surgery, he didn't gear up to be ready for Feb. 23 or even Spring Training. He was gearing up for Opening Day. Our hope, and I think everyone's hope, would be it he could have through Spring Training, and then a determination be made.
