I was about five years behind him in the Baltimore Orioles' organization, ... Everyone told Dalkowski stories.

We're looking for players who want to be Baltimore Orioles . I really want this organization to be proud, and I want our players to want to play here.

I told them I want to come back. I like the guys here. I like the organization and I like everything about San Francisco.

I just told Clint I'm honored that the organization has asked me to come back, but I'm not going to decide whether to come back until the season is over, ... It's a big commitment. I want to make sure the decision I make is the best for this organization and my situation.

You know, I had spoke to Pugh earlier about joining the organization. Pugh told me he wasn't going to have anything to do with that mess.

I told him that I was praying for him and that I'm behind him 100 percent. He's down; he's in disbelief. But I'm sure he'll make it through.
